Deutsche Bank has reportedly lost Alexander Akinbile, a vice president specializing in hedge fund rates sales, according to a report by eFinancialCareers. Akinbile recently departed from the German bank just months after his promotion to the role. Speculation suggests he may be joining an investment fund, though his next destination remains unconfirmed.
Akinbile spent about five years at Deutsche Bank, beginning as an intern in 2020. He was promoted to vice president in February 2026. The bank's loss of a skilled professional comes as competition intensifies for experienced fixed income experts across various financial firms. Citadel Securities has reportedly hired rates specialists from Goldman Sachs to bolster its macro trading capabilities in London.
This move follows a difficult third quarter for Deutsche Bank's fixed income trading division, underscoring the significance of retaining specialized talent that caters to institutional and hedge fund clients.
