Marc Steinhobel

Head: Structured FX Sales

I head up Structured FX Sales at Investec, a position I assumed in 2019. I spent over 10 years in the banking sector where the majority of my time has been spent in financial markets, specifically in foreign exchange sales and derivative structuring for corporates, institutions and sponsors. My diverse knowledge and experience in derivative structured solutions mean I have proven success in a fast-paced forever changing environment.

I have completed all the requirements prescribed for the use of the Chartered Financial Analyst (“CFA”) designation; I have been a charter holder since 2018.

I am a market maker in spot and currency futures markets.

Through an understanding of market drivers and by keeping abreast of key developments in these markets, I can provide not only competitive pricing but also a tailored service to suit my clients' needs in terms of Market updates, trade ideas, and execution with a service that doesn’t keep office hours.

Freda Hamersma

Head: Multi Asset Sales and Structuring

I have been a member of Investec Financial Products since 2010 and have been involved in fixed income, credit and rate structuring for institutional investors since then. A more recent focus is to lead the Multi-Asset Sales and Structuring initiative, which is a collaboration across various teams to deliver structured solutions across the different asset classes to an institutional investor base. Previously I was with Standard Bank’s interest rate and forex derivative businesses where I was offering hedging solutions to corporate clients. As a consequence, I have more than 25 years of experience in risk management, structuring and sales in the financial markets.
