Former-Northern Trust securities lending chief Sunil Daswani has joined Standard Chartered Bank as global head of agency securities lending.
Daswani joins the bank’s securities services division and reports to Madeleine Senior, head of securities services, UK and Europe.
Daswani, who is based in London, recently left a role as head of securities finance solutions for MarketAxess after just under two years.
He joined MarketAxess London office in January 2019 to help lead the business development and strategy for MarketAxess and EquiLend’s joint solution for the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR).
He was also a central figure in promoting MarketAxess’ unique transaction identifier portal which aims to solve one of SFTR's biggest challenges for buy-side members.
Prior to MarketAxess, Daswani was head of international securities lending for Northern Trust for just shy of 16 years up until March 2018.
His CV also includes a stint as chairman of the Pan Asia Securities Lending Association from 2004 to 2008.
He has also held positions at Citi and UBS.
