Yieldbroker said it appointed Anthony Robson as managing director, effective yesterday. He replaces Richard Swift who announced his decision to step down in December 2016. The firm said Robson has experience managing participant firms in both Yieldbroker's markets, including at Commonwealth Bank, Barclays, UBS and Westpac. He represented UBS as an early shareholder nominee director on the Yieldbroker board in 2002.
