Shaw and Partners grow institutional business
Investment wealth management firm, Shaw and Partners has appointed Darin Lester as its institutional equities specialist to grow their institutional business capabilities.
Shaw and Partners head of equities Mike Ryan said the firm was attracting both retail and institutional professionals to its rank.
"We have grown a strong collaborative culture where everyone's point of view is valued and taken into consideration," Ryan said.
"Our non-bureaucratic flat management structure means that staff, at every level, has high personal engagement with senior executive."
Lester was most recently at BTIG where he has a senior member on the institutional equity sales and sales trading desk.
Prior to that he held roles with Macquarie Group where he was a division director for alternative strategies and institutional sales in the group's New York, Hong Kong, and Sydney offices.
