Marex Solutions, the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives arm of Marex Spectron, announced this Thursday that it has launched its dedicated US OTC hedging entity, Marex Spectron USA, LLC.
According to the statement, the expansion of Markets Solutions into the US market is a “natural progression”, as the Marex Spectron group already has a long-established presence in the country with its US broking business in its FCM Marex North America LLC.
However, by establishing its own separate entity for its OTC hedging, it allows the company to expand the products and services that it can offer to its customers based in the United States.

“The additions of Scott and Nick adds a huge amount of knowledge and agricultural hedging expertise in the US, and ties in well with the Marex Spectron and RCG agricultural franchises.”

Based in Chicago, Shellady joins the OTC derivatives business from TJM Europe, where he was Managing Director. During his career, he has also worked for Trean Group and Shellady Commodities, amongst other companies over the past 30 years.
