These include indices that serve as underlyings for structured products and customised indices that help institutional clients implement their investment strategies. Now, Marex is expanding these capabilities with its first proprietary, off-the-shelf institutional QIS solution.

Marex designed its QIS platform to support strategies across multiple asset classes. These include digital assets, commodities, equities and multi-asset solutions. The offering draws on expertise from several teams at Marex.
