City Index appoints David Trew to head its Asia Pacific business

Sydney, Australia, 08 October 2009

City Index, a global leader in Contracts for Difference, margined FX and spread betting, has announced the appointment of former Managing Director of CMC Markets, David Trew, to head up its Asia Pacific region office.

The appointment forms another important part of City Index’s reorganisation, which began earlier this year with the hiring of a new management team headed by Chief Executive, Martin Belsham, and Chief Operating Officer, Simon Bird.

Prior to joining City Index, Mr Trew was head of the CMC Markets Asia Pacific office for six years. He oversaw its growth from a start-up business with a headcount of six staff and a single office in Sydney, through to a 350-employee operation, spanning 11 offices in six countries, which today accounts for 40% of the group’s global revenue.

Mr Trew’s previous experience includes being the Director of Trading at CMC Markets in London and an FX Dealer at First National Bank of Chicago.

Mr Trew, who takes over from Malcolm Nixon, will be based at the company’s Sydney office, from where he will oversee the development of its operations in the Asia Pacific region.

He also becomes a member of City Index’s Executive Committee and the City Index Holding Board - the first time the region’s head has held such a senior position within City Index, illustrating the importance the company attaches to Asia Pacific.

Martin Belsham, Chief Executive Officer at City Index, said: “Hiring someone of David’s standing demonstrates the ambitious plans we have for City Index and our operations in the region. We are committed to developing our business in Asia Pacific and David will be a crucial part of us realising our objectives there.”

Simon Bird, Chief Operating Officer at City Index, said: “We see the hiring of David as pivotal to establishing City Index as the dominant force in Asia Pacific, and underlining our credentials as a global leader in the industry. David brings with him unrivalled experience and regional knowledge, and we are delighted to welcome him on board.”

David Trew, Head of City Index Asia Pacific, added: “City Index already has a fantastic existing global platform and I’m looking forward to helping the company grow its Asia Pacific presence, and as a result, its global business.”
