Marex Group, a global financial services platform, has launched a new multi-asset derivatives execution desk.
Led by Marex's head of Listed Rates Execution, Chris Stone, and a team of high and low-touch traders and analysts, the desk delivers hybrid coverage across rates, commodities and equities coupled with proprietary market analysis and execution advisory services.
Marex says that its multi-asset derivatives execution desk addresses a gap in the market where clients leveraging low-touch, algorithmic execution strategies, still require access to market analysis and execution advisory.
Additionally, the desk provides premium futures execution complemented by specialised options expertise, supported by advanced proprietary algorithms and on-desk market microstructure analysis.
According to Marex, through strategic partnerships with boutique research providers, its clients will gain access to diverse perspectives on economics, strategy and policy.
The desk also leverages Marex's broad market connectivity and full service offering across its commodities and capital markets platform.
Stone brings over 35 years of experience in the City, most recently leading futures and options businesses at Citi and Morgan Stanley.
Stone has recruited Kerry Briscoe to drive business development for the desk as senior relationship manager.
The firm says Briscoe brings deep institutional sales, relationship management and business development experience spanning both OTC and listed derivatives across institutions including Morgan Stanley, UBS, and TD Securities.
Briscoe joins Stone and the wider team, providing high touch coverage including Ben Parker, Ben Nathan, James Coxon, and Alex Evans, and the low touch execution and advisory e-trading coverage team, including Steven Litchfield, Shayan Hassanzadeh, and Noemi Cursio.
The desk is fully operational serving asset managers, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds globally.
