The New York Stock Exchange, part of Intercontinental Exchange Inc (NYSE:ICE), announced today the appointment of Doug Yones as Head of Exchange-Traded Products.
Mr Yones will assume his new role at the NYSE on November 3, 2015.
He joins from Vanguard where he has worked for 17 years, most recently as head of domestic equity indexing and ETF product management. His tenure there centered on developing and launching new ETFs as well as relationship management across the market-making and exchange community.
“The addition of Doug to the NYSE team further strengthens our unique ability to deliver NYSE issuers customized, full service from the moment they start developing their product through their listing day, and for the growth of the product,” said NYSE Group President Tom Farley. “We look forward to leveraging his extensive background in ETFs and other exchange traded products in order to continue to provide issuers with superior market quality for the trading of their ETPs.”
NYSE Arca is by far the industry’s largest exchange for ETP trading. Year to date through October 28, the NYSE has launched over 200 new ETPs, nearly eight times its closest competitor.
“We’re thrilled to have Doug’s leadership as we continue to expand our exchange traded product team. As the ETF industry expands to record levels, our team works closely with our issuer partners to provide best-in-class listings services and rule filing support, while enhancing the evolving market structure,” said Steve Crutchfield, NYSE VP and Head of Options Markets, ETPs and Bonds.
