Richard Leighton, global head of FX at Standard Chartered, has decided to retire, bringing to an end one of the most successful careers in the industry over the past couple of decades.
Leighton started his career at Midland Bank in the mid-1980s working on the forward FX and specialized trading and research desks. From Midland he went to Chase (later JPMorgan Chase) and rose to become global head of options and commodities. He retired temporarily in 2002, only to return to the City in 2004 to run foreign exchange at StanChart.
