Renaissance Capital has hired Victor Lugo from Sberbank, Russia’s biggest lender, to oversee fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC) sales at RenCap Securities, the US subsidiary of the Moscow-based frontier and emerging markets-focused investment bank.
Lugo, who took up his new job on July 20, will be based in New York and lead a sales practice having a “strong focus” on Sub-Saharan Africa, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, Renaissance Capital said in a statement.
Lugo, who has had an investment banking career of over 18 years, rejoins RenCap Securities after a six-year hiatus during which he was head of credit sales at Credit Agricole and then held a New York-based FICC sales position at Sberbank CIB, the investment arm of the Russian bank.
During his first stint at RenCap Securities in 2007-2009, he “built up an Americas-based institutional investor clientele”, the statement said.
Between 2004 and 2007 Lugo was a member of ING’s fixed income team in New York, and before that a fixed income trader at the Miami operation of Banco Santander and a fixed income salesperson at a former Argentine subsidiary of South Africa’s Standard Bank.
Lugo will report to Igor Kotlyarchuk, global head of FICC, and Anthony Simone, chairman and chief executive of RenCap Securities.
