Russian financial institution BCS Financial Group has recruited Dipak Rajani and Timur Salikov to its sales and research teams. Rajani joins as director of international prime brokerage sales while Salikov comes on board as a senior oil and gas analyst.
Prior to this role, Rajani spent five years as head of prime brokerage execution sales at BNP Paribas, where he was responsible for its global execution services division.
He was also head of UK, Benelux and Iberia for the institutional senior sales team at E*TRADE Securities, and has held various positions at SunGard, BNY Mellon and Dresdner Kleinwort Benson Securities. He will work alongside Tim Bevan to develop its customer base.
Salikov joins from Morgan Stanley where he worked for four years, most recently as co-head of the bank’s CEEMEA oil and gas research team in London. Prior to this, he worked in the investment banking division at Deutsche Bank.
Yossi Dayan, head of markets at BCS Financial Group said: “These hand-picked appointments highlight our commitment to growing the firm’s prime brokerage, efficient execution and quantitative research offerings, in order to meet client demand and increase our market share.”
In April, BCS Prime Brokerage appointed John Barker and Edward Golosov to its board to join existing executive directors Rizwan Kayani and Vitaliy Shelikhovskiy.
Golosov was one of the founding partners of BCS Financial Group, and rejoined as an executive director after five years with Barclays Capital Fund Solutions, where he was global head of structuring and origination.
