Citadel has added Ravi Vinda to its roster of traders, the financial news outlet eFinancialCareers reported. Vinda, a former short-term interest rate trader at Citigroup, joined Citadel in July 2025, after spending four years at Brevan Howard. Prior to that, Vinda worked on Citigroup's London short-term interest rate trading (STIRT) desk for three years.
He started his trading career in 2014, following graduation from the London School of Economics. This move marks Vinda's third position at a hedge fund since leaving Citigroup in 2021. The trend of multi-manager hedge funds competing for experienced macro trading talent is evident, with recruiters in London noting a dwindling pool of such professionals as companies increasingly seek talent from investment banks and rival funds.
Vinda is anticipated to assume a portfolio management role at Citadel, though the extent of his allocation has not been disclosed. This recruitment also follows a difficult period for some macro hedge funds, as rising interest rates and concerns over French government debt have increased market volatility.
