ANOS Capital launches event trading division with key hires from Churchill Capital

ANOS Capital, the institutional brokerage firm formerly known as Abel Noser LLC, has expanded into event-driven trading with the appointment of two senior executives from Churchill Capital USA.

John Eagan and Nick Pappas have joined as managing directors to lead the new division, with Eagan heading US Event-Driven Sales and Trading and Pappas leading US Event-Driven Research. Both executives previously established Churchill Capital USA's event trading business.

The new division will focus on trading opportunities around corporate events including mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs and shareholder activism.

Doug Rivelli, CEO of ANOS Capital said: "Our decision to launch this new business line underscores our commitment to providing innovative solutions and adapting to the ever-evolving financial landscape. With John and Nick leading the charge, we are confident in our ability to identify and execute client strategies that capitalize on specific market events, including mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, shareholder activism, and other significant catalysts."

John Eagan added: "Nick and I are thrilled to be a part of the firm's growth trajectory. We look forward to building a top-notch client offering as a way to reinforce the company's commitment to delivering improved returns while effectively managing risk."

ANOS Capital, which recently rebranded from Abel Noser, has operated for 50 years as an agency-only broker focusing on quantitative execution services and trading cost reduction.
