The move makes Malaysia’s stock exchange the fourth venue in Southeast Asia to hold this status and is set to enhance its cross-market connectivity.  

Deal will bring approximately $800 million in client balances into Marex’s offering, and is expected to close either late 2026 or early 2027.  

Individual has been promoted after almost two years at the hedge fund, and previously served at firms including Balyasny Asset Management, AllianceBernstein and Societe Generale.  

New hire will also serve in a dual-hatted role as country treasurer for Vietnam; she has previously held senior positions at Maybank and BNP Paribas.  

Texas Stock Exchange UAT (TXSE), MIAX Futures Onyx, Cboe US Treasuries, Nasdaq PHLX Fusion, and 24X National Exchange are among the venues supported by the expansion, which is set to provide clients with greater liquidity access across various asset classes.  

Market thought leaders from Euronext, Standard Chartered and FinScan provide a view on what they believe will be the key macro-economic factors in the year to come, delving into their potential impacts in Europe, the US, Asia, and beyond. 

Individual will retain his former role as deputy head of FIC; initially joined Societe Generale in 1993.

The firm already includes Japannext and the Japan Exchange Group in its regional exchange portfolio. 

Regulatory fragmentation, legacy infrastructure and limited RMB liquidity continue to constrain Hong Kong’s ambitions to become a fully integrated digital market and RMB hub, panellists at The Network Forum: Asia warn. 

The swaps were cleared through HKEX’s OTC Clear service; the firm said the expansion bolsters its position in the post-trade optimisation sphere in Asia.
