Richard Turner
Senior Trader - Currency Solutions, Insight Investment
Please describe your role and responsibilities
within Insight Investment today.
My role at Insight Investment has changed
dramatically over the past 3-4years. I’m part
of an FX Execution team which trades all
currency requirements for Insight Investment.
Our stakeholders are Portfolio Managers
(discretionary and non-discretionary) and
quantitative model strategies (Active and
Passive). Our responsibilities incorporate all
30
aspects of Best Execution as well as trying to
maximise any potential execution alpha. We use
our TCA providers and own execution analysis
to better inform our decision making process
at the point of trade execution. We also try to
collaborate with the stakeholders to add value
where we can. We believe our tools for execution
are market leading. I am also the 3rd man for
the equity trading team where we are also
collaborating on building pre-trade execution
tools.
