The new desk operates across New York, London, Dubai and Singapore and is set to support hedge funds and banks executing complex fixed income and futures strategies.
Specifically, the build out is expected to bolster Marex’s footprint in Australian markets and enhance its current OTC hedging capabilities.
The deal – initially announced in October 2025 – will bring 700 clients onto Marex’s platform from banks, independent wealth managers and asset managers.
The past week saw the creation of a new private markets desk, as well as trader appointments across both the buy- and sell-side.
As part of the launch, the firm has brought in two ex-Argentex Group hires to lead dealing and portfolio solutions on the desk; move comes amid “greater complexity around foreign exchange and interest rate risk throughout the investment lifecycle,” Marex tells The TRADE.
ABN AMRO Clearing Bank, Nomura and Standard Chartered are also integrated onto the platform; Marex’s addition follows increasing institutional demand for secure, regulated access to digital assets across the industry.
Offering combines both high and low touch trading across futures and options, rates and equities.
This past week saw a flurry of moves across the industry, including a global head of electronic trading, head of electronic fixed income, and a senior credit desk hire.
New hire has worked across the industry for more than 30 years, and also previously worked at AXA Investment Managers, Natixis Asset Management and Tradition.
