“Asia-Pacific continues to be an important focus for both Citadel and Citadel Securities,” John Buckley, who rejoined Citadel in 2018 as regional chief operating officer, said in the statement. “We are excited to further extend our presence in the region.”
Billionaire Ken Griffin’s finance companies plan to open a Singapore office this year in a fresh push to expand in Asia.
The new office will be shared by his Citadel hedge fund business and the market-making Citadel Securities LLC unit, the Chicago-based firm said in an e-mailed statement Monday. Both will continue to grow their Hong Kong operations, and Citadel Securities is expanding in Shanghai and Sydney as it broadens trading activities, the company added.
