Marex expands Asia Pacific business with new office

Ian Lowitt, CEO Marex, commented:

Developing Asia Pacific is a central part of our stated global growth strategy, with a key strand being the launch and expansion of an Australian branch. As one of the largest markets for agriculture, energy and metals, Australia is a hugely important geography for our business and where it is essential to have a physical presence. We look forward to offering our comprehensive risk management solutions to the Australian agricultural, commodity and financial sector.

Nick Burke, Head of Marex’s Australia Branch, said:

This is an exciting development for Marex as we grow our presence and increase our headcount in the region. There are tangible opportunities, including providing Australian-based clients with improved market access to exchange traded derivatives and clearing via our proprietary technology platforms.  We look forward to offering our suite of innovative cross-asset OTC products to clients locally.

Marex has recently acquired Volcap Trading to further expand the group’s offering in structured products and commodities.
