Former iShares Australia co-head Tim Bradbury is rumoured to have found a job at Barclays Capital.
It is understood that in his new role Bradbury will be responsible for distributing Barclays Capital's products to financial planners in Australia.
It is believed he will be particularly involved with bringing Barclays Capital's solutions, including capital protected products and hedged strategies, to high net worth financial advisory dealer groups, private banks and family offices.
Barclays Capital is the investment banking division of United Kingdom-based lender Barclays.
It offers clients products and services in areas including convertible bonds, inflation-linked bonds, commodities, fund-linked derivatives, structured investments, municipal finance, private equity and leveraged finance.
Bradbury left exchange-traded funds (ETF) provider iShares after its parent, Barclays Global Investors, completed its $15 billion (US$13.5 billion) merger in 2009 with global fund manager BlackRock.
He headed up the iShares Australia business alongside Adam Seccombe.
iShares is the world's biggest provider of ETFs, with assets under management of $545 billion (US$488.9 billion).
