Brevan Howard has appointed Owen Coughlan, the former head of euro swaps trading at NatWest Markets, as a portfolio manager based in London, according to a report by eFinancial Careers. 

The report cites Coughlan's LinkedIn profile as revealing that he has made the switch to Brevan Howard from multi-strategy hedge fund firm Eisler Capital, where he spent just over a year following his departure from NatWest Markets in February 2022.

Brevan Howard is actively recruiting under new chief executive Aron Landy after last year bringing in a number of talent scouts tasked with finding new portfolio managers and technologists.

Another new recent Brevan Howard recruit in London is Frank Flight, a VP on Goldman Sachs' London rates desk.
