Canaccord Genuity is bolstering its U.S. fixed income team with several new hires, as part of its ongoing global expansion in the fixed-income business.

The firm said that it has hired a new head of U.S. fixed income sales, and a new head of U.S. structured products, along with two other professionals. It says they will be responsible for building and selling structured solutions across a broad spectrum of asset classes.

“As we continue to grow and expand our platform in the U.S., adding high-quality fixed income sales capabilities is a natural complement to our existing portfolio of services,” said Dan Daviau, president of Canaccord Genuity Inc. (US).

This team’s expertise will be an excellent addition to our growing fixed income business in the U.S. and the established fixed income efforts Canaccord Genuity runs in Canada and Europe,” he added.
