Retail broker Trade Nation has hired sales executive Jay Wu from rival brand IG Group.
Wu will work as a Premium Client Manager for Trade Nation’s Aussie entity and will be based in the broker’s office in Sydney.
He has close to a decade of experience in the retail trading industry, having initially joined CMC Markets in 2017 as a Client Services Executive.
Wu worked at CMC Markets for close to four years and was promoted on two occasions, eventually becoming a sales manager at the broker.
After leaving CMC Markets in August 2021, he moved to London-listed firm IG Group, initially as a Premium Client Executive.
He was promoted last year to become a Premium Client Manager.
Trade Nation has its headquarters in the UK but operates five different entities globally, with additional regulatory approvals in the Seychelles, Bahamas, South Africa, and Australia.
The Aston Villa sponsor is one of a small number of mid-size firms to not have pulled out of tier-1 markets, like the UK and Australia, since regulatory restrictions came into play that limit leverage and make it much harder to deal with retail clients.
