Marex has launched a new desk to support relative value execution across cash fixed income and listed futures markets.
The desk aims to provide support and services for hedge funds and banks that execute increasingly complex fixed income and futures strategies and aligns with increasing capital allocation to multi-strategy approaches, which in turn boosts the need for sophisticated execution capabilities.
In addition, the launch also comes amid increasing market volatility and fragmented liquidity, with the desk set to address challenges faced by market participants during these times, by enhancing execution timing, pricing accuracy and certainty and offering an alternative to traditional, multiple counterparty-reliant models.
A key factor of the desk is its single framework solution for the full trade lifecycle, which spans various differentiators including: integrated execution, clearing, repo financing and balance sheet support, a single principal counterparty model, end-to-end technology, CME-FICC cross-margining, and smart execution tools.

Global coverage is also included in the relative value execution desk, with operations across New York, London, Dubai and Singapore.
Moreover, post-trade is also a focus of the desk, offering fast risk transfer directly into client systems in 5 to 10 seconds through multiple straight-through processing (STP) formats.
In April 2026, Marex also launched a private markets desk, with the aim of enhancing the firm’s FX and interest rate offerings.
The new offering is set to boost Marex’s capabilities for private capital managers, providing high touch, institutional grade access to structured currency risk management and interest rate solutions.
In addition, the firm brought in two ex-Argentex Group hires to lead the desk, with Lloyd Beeston joining as head of dealing for private markets, while Jack Carnell took on the role of head of portfolio solutions for private markets.
