Robert Chiuch has left Clear Street following a number of senior departures.
The agency lending veteran is one of a few senior figures who have left the prime brokerage platform, with the recent departures of Jim McDonald, managing director of financing solutions, Paul Stegmann, director of Canada and ADR, and Vincent Avena, former head of securities finance.
Chiuch joined Clear Street in August 2020 to form a new securities finance initiative aimed at improving the securities finance experience for Clear Street’s institutional clients.
Chiuch spent almost eight years at BNY Mellon before joining Clear Street, where he held a number of senior positions. Most recently, he was managing director, global head of equity and fixed income finance.
Formerly, Chiuch was president of the Canadian Securities Lending Association (CASLA).
Before this, he held an 11-year tenure at CIBC Mellon, where he was co-head and executive director of global securities finance trading and capital markets.
At the time of publication, Clear Street and Chiuch had not yet responded to a request from SFT for comment.
