Marex Group has announced plans to acquire Valcourt, a Geneva-based market maker focused on fixed income instruments. The acquisition, expected to close in the first half of 2026 pending regulatory approval, will strengthen Marex’s presence in the fixed income space and expand its client base, particularly in Switzerland.
Valcourt serves around 700 clients, including banks, asset managers, and wealth management firms. The firm is known for its work in high-yield, subordinated, emerging markets, illiquid, and sustainable debt instruments.
The deal aligns with Marex’s strategy to broaden its platform capabilities and diversify its earnings across different client segments and asset classes.
Paolo Tonucci, Chief Strategist and CEO of Capital Markets at Marex, commented:
“We are excited to welcome the team from Valcourt to Marex. They bring a high level of expertise in the fixed income markets and will enhance our Capital Markets offering. The acquisition also brings us deep local knowledge and strong client relationships, particularly with Swiss institutions, where we see great potential to deepen these relationships by offering access to our broader range of products from across our platform.”
Mike Conway, CEO of Valcourt, added:
“We are delighted to join forces with Marex, a global leader in financial services. This partnership represents a fantastic opportunity for Valcourt clients to access Marex’s extensive network and expertise. We look forward to combining our strengths and delivering even greater value to our clients.”
