Citigroup is out to boost its business with quantitative hedge funds in the City, relocating an executive from the US to London to help build a new high-speed trading platform.

The moves form part of a strategy kicked off by the bank in 2015 to actively court new hedge fund clients for its equities trading business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, which is run by David Haldane.
