Propellant Appoints Jupiter Asset Management’s Mike Poole as Strategic Advisor

Amsterdam and London, March 17th, 2026 – Propellant Digital (Propellant), a provider of data and analytics solutions for global fixed income markets, today announced the appointment of Mike Poole, Head of Trading at Jupiter Asset Management, as Strategic Advisor.

In this role, Poole will support Propellant in strengthening its engagement with the buy-side by contributing to the company’s product strategy focusing on innovation and thought leadership around fixed income market structures. His involvement reflects growing buy-side demand for data-driven analytics to improve price discovery, execution decisions and market transparency in fixed income markets. He has been an advocate for the greater use of data and pre-trade analytics to support buy-side execution decisions.

Poole brings nearly two decades of front-office trading experience. He joined Jupiter Asset Management in 2005 and has progressed through roles covering equities, fixed income, FX and derivatives before becoming Head of Trading, overseeing execution strategy across multiple asset classes.

As a senior buy-side market participant, Poole has been actively involved in industry discussions around market structure, execution quality and transparency. He is a frequent speaker at industry forums and an active member of industry bodies such as the Investment Association and the FIX Trading Community.

Propellant has continued to expand its client base across both buy-side and sell-side institutions, with overall market share increasing from 3% to 18% over the past year. Jupiter Asset Management is also an existing client of Propellant.

Poole’s appointment, alongside recent additions from MTS (within the Euronext Group) and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), underscores Propellant’s continued investment in market expertise and industry collaboration as it scales its platform globally.

Vincent Grandjean, CEO of Propellant, said:

"Mike has been a long-standing supporter of Propellant and our mission to bring greater transparency and data-driven insight to fixed income markets. His deep buy-side experience and strong industry voice will be invaluable as we enter the next stage of our growth and continue to develop solutions that help asset managers make better execution and investment decisions.”

Mike Poole said:

The fixed income market is undergoing significant structural change, with increasing demand from the buy-side for better data, transparency and analytics. Propellant is tackling some of the most important challenges in this space, and I’m excited to support the team as they continue to build solutions that help investors navigate these evolving markets.”
