S&P Global stock gets fixed-income leadership change as James retires

S&P Global is changing the leadership of its fixed-income and municipal-markets business. The DESK reported on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, that Carl James had retired after three years as the company's global head of fixed income and municipals.

Sedgwick Takes Over

Alex Sedgwick is replacing James in the role. Before the move, Sedgwick led municipal and fixed-income primary markets for the Americas, giving him direct experience in one of the businesses covered by the leadership change.

The report said Sedgwick has more than 25 years of industry experience. His previous roles included global data and analytics sales at Trading Technologies, fixed-income sales at Susquehanna, and positions focused on fixed-income market structure and electronic trading at T. Rowe Price.

James previously held senior positions at Pictet Asset Management, BNP Paribas Asset Management, Henderson, now Janus Henderson, and UBS Global Asset Management. His background included global fixed-income trading, fixed-income and foreign-exchange dealing, and Asia-Pacific dealing responsibilities.

Investor Context

The personnel change gives S&P Global's fixed-income and municipal activities a new senior leader while the company remains under investor attention for its broader strategic review. Recent company coverage has focused on the review of Capital IQ and related data businesses after the third-quarter results; the leadership change is a separate development.
