Millennium adds veteran fixed-income exec as senior adviser

Millennium Management has bolstered its team of seasoned industry professionals by appointing Nick Howard as a senior adviser based in London. This move comes as the multi-strategy hedge fund continues to bolster its UK operations, according to a report from eFinancial Careers. Over the course of his career spanning nearly four decades, Howard has gained extensive experience in central banking, investment banking, and hedge funds.

Beginning his journey at the Federal Reserve, Howard later held senior positions at JPMorgan, Salomon Brothers, and Barclays. Following a stint at Rokos Capital Management, where he served as both chief executive and chief risk officer, he departed in 2023 to join Santander. At Santander, Howard took on a dual role, focusing on senior relationship management for markets, economics, and fixed-income, currencies, and commodities strategy.

He played a pivotal role in expanding the bank's senior economics and markets capabilities, including recruiting Antonio Garcia Pascual from the International Monetary Fund as the global head of economics for Santander's corporate and investment banking division. Howard's tenure at Santander concluded in late July, leading him to join Millennium Management in early September, as recorded in the UK Financial Conduct Authority's register.
