Alaris Trading Partners has hired Adam Capon, formerly of Goldman Sachs, as vice president of sales and trading.

Capon will concentrate on prime brokerage sales and further development of the institutional agency execution services of Alaris.

Most recently he was a specialist on the NYSE with Spear, Leeds & Kellogg Specialists, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, focusing on US equity and high profile ADRs.

Mark McGoldrick, head of prime services at Alaris, says: “Adam comes to Alaris at a perfect time. His extensive experience handling customer orders in an agency capacity on the floor of the NYSE combined with his background servicing prime brokerage clients at SLK meshes perfectly with two growing areas of business at Alaris.”
