Rule Financial raced clear of the field in Securities Finance IT consultancy with the arrival last month of Alec Nelson.  Alec has been an authority on the development of Stock Borrow Loan systems since the earliest days of the securities finance sector. 

 After nearly two decades with investment bank Morgan Stanley,  most recently as a distinguished Head of International Securities Lending, his decision to join Rule delivers extra prestige to the SF practice, and brings its headcount into double figures for the first time.  Its head, David Little, commented:        

“I’m delighted. Many of our clients will benefit from Alec’s thorough understanding of this very complex area of the business. Rule has always had a strong securities finance offering, with the ability to advise clients independently, and to deliver large projects on time and on budget. Alec’s arrival underlines this.”

Alec Nelson is married with two children and lives near Rochester in Kent, where he’s a keen badminton player and rides a Yamaha YZ125 in competitive Motocross.

Rule consultants are currently working on SF projects for many of the leading investment banks, including RBS, ABN, HSBC and Dresdner Kleinwort.      

       Alec Nelson on his way to work. Not. Right bike, though.
