ING in the UK has appointed Alex Yang as global head of electronic fixed income (eFI) trading.

Yang, who brings 16 years of experience across electronic trading, quantitative research and systematic fixed income markets, is joining the bank from Millennium. At the investment management firm, he focused on systematic trading across corporate bonds, rates and ETFs.

In his new role, Yang will lead the continued development and expansion of ING’s global electronic fixed income trading capabilities, supporting its strategic investment in digitalisation and electronic execution.

“Digitalisation is a must win battle for us, and Alex’s expertise in e Rates trading is pivotal in that ambition," said Gary Prince, head of WB FM EMEA, ING. "I’m excited about the impact he will have as we continue strengthening ING’s Markets business and driving growth in the UK.”

Yang's appointment follows last week’s announcement of David Leech as global head of FX trading.

The bank said that as part of its strategic focus on digitalisation, ING’s eTrading team will continue to expand in 2026.

Simon Bevan, Global Head of eTrading, added: “I’m excited to have Alex join the ING eTrading team. With his leadership, I am confident ING will become a market leader in electronic fixed income trading.”
