Marex Group plc (Nasdaq: MRX) (“Marex”), the diversified global financial services platform, today announces that it has opened its first office in Japan as it expands in Asia in line with its strategy to connect clients to the world’s largest and most dynamic markets.
The Tokyo office will initially focus on structured products with Marex acting as an issuer, and over-the-counter derivatives. Marex’s Japan operations will look to offer local clients the firm’s full range of services in due course. Marex is in discussions to become a clearing member of the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) and the Osaka Exchange (OSE).
Establishing a local presence in Japan has been a key priority for Marex, which provides access to 60 exchanges worldwide. Tokyo is Marex’s seventh office in Asia Pacific, adding to locations in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand.
“Japan is one of the world’s largest capital markets and we have been seeking to build our presence here for some time. We look forward to bringing essential liquidity and market services to onshore clients in Japan, and to offering our clients around the world improved access to this crucial economy.”Arthur Fan CEO Asia Pacific
