Ninety One trader Tom Nickalls is set to leave the asset manager after 11 years to join Morgan Stanley, The TRADE can reveal.
According to an update on social media, Nickalls will join the sell-side next month in an emerging markets credit role.
“After 11 years my time at Ninety One (and formerly Investec Asset Management) has come to an end. It has been quite the journey, joining a couple of weeks after leaving university and staying my entire career until now,” he said in an update.
“I knew almost nothing when I joined, but got my head down, and with the support of the people around me was able to move through the company and eventually land on the trading desk.”
Nickalls joined Ninety One in 2013 as a client operations analyst, moving into a portfolio implementation role in 2015 and taking up his current role as fixed income trader in 2018.
He was recognised as a Rising Star of Trading and Execution at Leaders in Trading in 2021.
