By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 4 - Knight Libertas LLC said it appointed Daniel J. Mullineaux as managing director, global head of emerging markets fixed income.

Mullineaux is an eight-year veteran of UBS, where most recently he was managing director and head of emerging markets debt sales for the Americas. He managed a sales force covering debt, rates, derivatives and foreign exchange for clients in the United States and Latin America.

Before that, Mullineaux spent more than six years at Goldman, Sachs & Co., where he was an emerging markets fixed-income portfolio manager. He also has worked in emerging markets sales for Chase Manhattan Bank and in derivatives operations for Bankers Trust.

He has a master's degree in business administration from New York University's Stern School of Business and a bachelor's degree in finance from Syracuse University.

Mullineaux reports to Gary Katcher, executive vice president, head of global institutional fixed income at Knight Capital Group, according to a press release.

"After a contracting market in 2008, emerging markets debt is experiencing a burgeoning growth in new issuance and customer demand across the globe," Katcher said in the release.

Knight Libertas also added four more employees to the emerging markets fixed-income team. Stephen G. Kenny and Max Nair, who both most recently worked for UBS, will be responsible for sales in the Greenwich, Conn., office. Paul Quinn will join the emerging markets trading operation in Greenwich from UBS, while George Urumov, formerly of HSBC Bank, will trade emerging markets debt in London.

Kenny has more than 25 years of experience in fixed-income markets. He was managing director and global head of emerging markets trading and sales at UBS and worked there for more than 15 years. He has a bachelor's degree in English from the College of the Holy Cross.

Nair was a director for UBS until joining Knight Libertas in April. Before that, Max was in emerging markets fixed-income sales for Wachovia and Bear Stearns. He has a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's degree in business administration from West Virginia University.

Quinn worked for 10 years in the global emerging markets group at UBS. He traded emerging market sovereign bonds in Latin America and Asia and had recently begun market making in Latin America and Asia currencies. He has a bachelor's degree in accounting from Fairfield University.

Urumov was an emerging markets trader for HSBC Bank in London, where he made markets in EMEA sovereign, quasi-sovereign and corporate debt covering credit default swaps and cash products across Eastern Europe. He has a master's degree in finance and economics from the London School of Economics and a bachelor's degree in banking and international finance from Cass Business School.

The Greenwich, Conn.-based company is an institutional fixed-income broker-dealer. It is a subsidiary of Knight Capital Group, Inc., a financial services firm.
