Ralph joins from Banque Havilland where he served for seven years, most recently working in prime services and as a multi asset trader, focused on trading strategies and “bespoke” multi asset solutions for clients.
Prior to this, he spent more than eight years at Societe Generale Corporate and Investment Banking (SGCIB), working across multi asset sales and trading, hedge fund sales, and prime brokerage.
“I am thrilled to share that I have joined the prime services team at Marex London! Extremely excited to be back in my hometown bringing my knowledge and expertise to the team […] All roads seem to be leading to Marex at the moment and thanks to the team for the warm welcome,” said Ralph in a social media post.
Last month, Marex hired former JP Morgan AM emerging markets specialist Ron Catena as it sought to bolster its fixed income outsourced business. At the same time, John Orrock was named head of fixed income outsourced trading, alongside several other senior appointments in the division.
Commodities specialist Marex completed the acquisition of TD Cowen’s outsourced trading and prime brokerage business in December last year, following which the business was rebranded Marex Prime Services and Market Outsourced Trading.
News broke of the split with TD in June 2023, with the firms concluding that the prime brokerage and outsourced trading business being divested to a partner more “strategically and geographically aligned” to the platform was in the best interests of clients.
