Chris Hart has joined Marex as an equity trader following more than a decade at UK-based investment bank Peel Hunt.
Most recently, London-based Hart served as co-head of the Execution Hub, overseeing a merged international desk and retail desk – the latter of which he had overseen since 2014.
Hart has experience working in mid touch execution across UK, US and EU equities, specialising in algorithmic trading.
Previously in his career, Hart has worked as a trader and market maker across firms including Oriel Securities, Fox Davies Capital, Suncorp, and Gerrard Stockbrokers, as well as serving a stint in a retail-focused role at Royal Bank of Scotland.
Hart announced his new role on social media.
Marex had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publishing.
Marex completed the acquisition of TD Cowen’s outsourced trading and prime brokerage business in December 2023, with the business subsequently rebranded as Marex Prime Services and Market Outsourced Trading.
Both became part of the Marex Capital Markets business which was formed in 2024 following the acquisition of ED&F Man Capital Markets.
