Marex Group plc (‘Marex’ or the ‘Group’; NASDAQ: MRX), the
diversified global financial services platform, today announces
that it has agreed terms to acquire Hamilton Court Group which will
expand the foreign exchange (FX) services it offers clients,
consistent with its strategy to bring new clients and new
capabilities onto its platform and diversify its earnings.
Headquartered in London, Hamilton Court Group
offers a full suite of FX products, ranging from bespoke complex FX
options and derivative structures to more ‘vanilla’ products such
as forwards, spots and swaps. Its clients are primarily mid-sized
UK and European corporates and it has about 170 employees located
in London, Milan, Madrid, and Toronto.
The acquisition of Hamilton Court Group, which
is subject to contract and regulatory approval, would be
complementary to Marex’s existing FX operations.
Ian Lowitt, CEO of Marex, commented:
“This agreement supports our strategy to bring
new clients onto our platform and is in line with our goal to add
both clients and capabilities, as we continue to diversify our
business to ensure we can grow through various market
conditions.”
Tony Keterman, CEO of Hamilton Court Group,
said:
“Joining Marex will give us access to a larger
balance sheet and a growing global footprint, both of which will
support our own continued expansion. Our clients will benefit from
this support as well as being able to access the broader range of
products and services Marex can offer. We are excited to be joining
a like-minded, ambitious firm where we can flourish.”
