Hancock spent most of his career at JP Morgan, where he was head of fixed income in the latter part of the 1990s. He cut his teeth in derivatives and headed the division from 1990 to 1995 – this was a formative time in the credit derivatives market and JP Morgan is widely thought to have been one of the founding fathers of credit default swaps.
