More on Moore

It’s been widely predicted that although 2007 was a bumper year for most FX players, the problems caused by the so-called clever Trevors in other markets could lead to a vigorous shakeout of staff.

Departures are coming thick and fast, and the latest this week was Richard Moore at Citi (see People moves), who left his role as regional head of fixed income, EMEA at the bank. Richard’s background, though, was very much in FX. I met him back in the 1980s, soon after he started at the bank and was working as the number two on spot dollar/mark. He always struck me as extremely affable. In fact, so affable that I was a little surprised at how quickly and how far he ascended the greasy pole.
