MOVES-Marex names former HKEX executive as Asia prime services head HONG KONG, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Marex Group 3TK.F said on Monday that it had appointed Robert Cheeseman, a former managing director at Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), as head of prime services, Asia, as the global financial firm seeks to drive its regional growth.
Here are a few details:
Cheeseman was co-head of client development at HKEX and previously spent four years at Credit Suisse as head of APAC prime derivatives services.
Nasdaq-listed Marex seeks to expand its prime brokerage and outsourced trading business in Asia.
"Asia is an important growth market for Prime Services and Marex more broadly," said Jack Seibald, Marex's global co-head of prime services.
London-based Marex is one of the world's largest commodities brokers.
In the new role, Cheeseman will focus on supporting hedge funds, asset managers, family offices and other institutional investors, Marex said.
