Marex has completed its acquisition of fixed income market maker Valcourt, more than six months after the deal was initially announced.
Marex entered an agreement to acquire the Geneva-based firm in October 2025, with the aim of bringing the Swiss institutional community into its distribution offering.
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.
Specifically, by integrating Valcourt, Marex will see 700 clients joining its platform, spanning banks, independent wealth managers and asset managers.
Commenting on the acquisition in October, , chief executive of capital markets at Marex, said: “[Valcourt] bring a high level of expertise in the fixed income markets and will enhance our Capital Markets offering. The acquisition also brings us deep local knowledge and strong client relationships, particularly with Swiss institutions, where we see great potential to deepen these relationships by offering access to our broader range of products from across our platform.”
Currently, Marex provides coverage across four key areas, spanning clearing, agency and execution, market making, and hedging and investment solutions.
Similarly, Valcourt’s offering specialises in fixed income instruments, including high-yield, subordinated, emerging markets, private, illiquid, and sustainable debt.
Marex has been building out its offering in various parts of its business over the last few months.
Most recently, in April 2026, the firm launched a new private markets desk, to enhance Marex’s FX and interest rate offerings.
The desk will be supported by Marex’s current purpose-build technology, investment grade credit rating and global market connectivity, and also sees the firm bringing in Lloyd Beeston and Jack Carnell to lead the desk.
