Marex has been granted approval from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to enter the Australian structured products market.
The new offering is enabled through the firm’s existing Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) and will allow Marex to offer structured investment products and solutions to Australian clients, through its financial products business.
As part of the expansion, Marex will initially target private banks, wealth managers and independent financial advisors (IFA) across Australia.
Franck Fayard, head of financial products, APAC, said: “Structured products are enjoying increased momentum across APAC as investors seek enhanced yields and risk-managed exposure in an increasingly complex market environment.
“We are delighted to bring our expertise to Australian clients, building on the success we have had in the broader region.”

Specifically, the build out is expected to bolster Marex’s footprint in Australian markets, and enhance its current OTC hedging capabilities.
In 2023, Marex became a futures clearing and trading participant in the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), marking an initial step in the firm’s development in the region.
The firm has also been expanding elsewhere within in business, and last week, Marex closed its acquisition of fixed income market maker Valcourt, more than six months after the deal was initially announced in October 2025.
The move is set to enhance Marex’s current fixed income business, expanding its client suite and adding new capabilities to its platform, to diversify the firm’s earnings.
