Edgar Castel is set to join Nordea as an equity trader following almost five years at Candriam, The TRADE can reveal.
Castel most recently served as a trader focused on equities (cash and swap), foreign exchange, and listed derivatives.
He will begin his new role as of 1 November, based in Denmark, The TRADE understands.
Castel was one of The TRADE’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution in 2023, recognised as a budding buy-side talent in the institutional trading space.
Over the years the Rising Stars initiative, in collaboration with Instinet, has recognised many up-and-coming buy-side talents, several of whom have gone on to head up some of the largest and most successful desks across the world’s leading asset managers and hedge funds.
Candriam declined to comment when approached by The TRADE.
