Bill Bors is joining BMO Capital Markets in New York. He is joining the Canadian bank from Barclays, where he spent just five years, the last three as the firm’s head of New York cash sales trading.
Bors was at Credit Suisse for 32 years before joining Barclays. In a social media post at the time of his departure, when the bank was dealing with the fallout of the Archegos scandal, Bors said that he believes that the firm “always conducted our business in a way we should feel good about.”
BMO has been on a bit of a hiring spree for equities people this year. In June, The Trade reported that the firm had picked up Christopher Limentani, former head of trading for Devon Equity Management. And in March, Bloomberg reported that Joe Kostandoff, ex-head of equity solutions for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, had joined BMO.
