Nomura Securities has hired Joshua Lukeman as managing director and head of US Delta One Index, where he will expand the firm’s D1 index and exchange traded fund (ETF) offering.
His expertise in related financing products will also be used to scale the broader US equities offering.
The firm said that Lukeman will initially focus on the client swap offering on equity indexes, sectors and ETFs, complementing Nomura’s strong client franchise in single stock swaps, equity financing and cross-asset financing.
In addition, he will be tasked to enhance the firm’s principal facilitation and custom baskets products.
Lukeman will be based in New York and report to Matthew Ferreira, head of US Delta One and equity finance.
“We are tremendously excited to have Josh lead our D1 index effort and look forward to a significant expansion of our client franchise and product offering under his leadership,” said Samir Patel, Head of GM Sales Americas.
Lukeman joins from Credit Suisse, where he spent over 18 years in various leadership and trading roles in the equity finance business.
Most recently, he was head of the equity finance group, responsible for overseeing multiple trading desks, including equity synthetics, ETF and systematic marketing making.
