Macquarie AM names equities trading head

Next week, Dylan Kluth will join Macquarie Asset Management's Sydney office as its new head of equities trading for Asia Pacific.

Kluth arrives from the firm's London office, where he worked as a portfolio manager and analyst for two years.

Before that, he was global head of dealing at AMP Capital - a job he won seven years after taking up his first trading role as an equity dealer in Australia.

Kluth first joined AMP Capital Brookfield in 2009 as an associate in investment operations and then moved to AMP Capital Investors as an exposure management analyst in 2012.

After his move into trading in 2013, he transferred to the UK and worked across equities, foreign exchange, futures, investment grade and high-yield credit, interest rate derivatives, swaps and options as he progressed into a multi-asset dealing position.

He was named head of dealing across EMEA and Americas for AMP Capital in January 2020, before his promotion to the global role in December.

"I am excited to share that I am starting a new role as head of equities trading - AsiaPac at Macquarie," he posted on social media.

"Eight years in London flew by, and I'm very excited about this new opportunity. I am especially proud of the trading team we put together and grateful for the opportunity to be part of Macquarie's global listed real estate team.

"My first day in Sydney will be February 19th, and I look forward to reconnecting with the many friends and colleagues there."
