Ticonderoga Securities announced the launch of its equity derivatives group under the leadership of Vuk Bulajic, an industry veteran who has a track record of launching and building equity derivatives businesses.

"As Wall Street begins to reinvent itself, nimble firms like Ticonderoga have a great opportunity to innovate in the equity derivatives space," sated Bulajic in the release. "I look forward to growing the group here at Ticonderoga," added Bulajic who brings 25 years of experience to Ticonderoga, during which time he has built equity derivatives businesses for several large banks and Wall Street institutions.

With the new equity derivatives group, Ticonderoga will continue to position itself as an institutional broker-dealer concentrating on domestic and international equities with a focus on high-quality order execution alongside differentiated research. The new group will continue to diversify Ticonderoga's offerings, which was recently expanded to include institutional equity research.

As head of the equity derivatives group, Bulajic will focus on building out the platform to deliver unique and valuable offerings, stated the company-issued release.

"We are extremely pleased to be able to launch our equity derivatives group with such an experienced and knowledgeable leader as Vuk," stated Shawn McLoughlin, CEO and co-founder of Ticonderoga Securities in the release. "His success in building teams from the ground up will be valuable as we continue to build out our equity derivatives team over the coming months to deliver services in several sectors important to our clients," McLoughlin stated.

Most recently, Bulajic served as head of U.S. equity derivatives at the French bank Natixis for eight years, and in the same position at BNP Paribas from 1997-2002. He was also global head of equity derivative trading at Lehman Brothers and helped launch the equity derivatives group for the Americas at NatWest Capital Markets in the early 1990s. He began his career as a trader for Morgan Stanley and Stern Brothers.
