Marex Financial Products in Italy: A Journey of Growth, Innovation and Award Wins

From issuing our first structured product in Italy in March 2022 to earning top ranking on Borsa Italiana in 2024, Marex Financial Products (FP) has achieved significant success in a relatively short span. This journey has not only highlighted Marex’s commitment to providing innovative solutions tailored to the needs of Italian investors but also demonstrated how our focus on client relationships and product excellence has positioned us a leading player in the market. 

The first product issuance in March 2022 marked the beginning of the Italian journey for Marex FP, as we began serving professional clients in a market seeking both sophistication and flexibility. This signalled Marex’s commitment to offering innovative financial solutions that cater to the evolving needs of investors in the Italian market. 

Since then, Marex has issued more than 800 products in Italy, with a total traded volume on Cert-X (Borsa Italiana) exceeding 1.5 billion EUR since inception. This growth is a testament to the trust our clients place in our proven capability to deliver tailored solutions. 

As the team settled into this new territory, the journey quickly gained traction. In 2023, just one year after entering the market, Marex FP was already making an impact. Recognising the importance of being close to our clients, we made the strategic decision to relocate the team from London to Milan in July 2023. This move allowed us to engage more directly with our clients, better understand their specific requirements, and provide a heightened personalised service. 

The results of this dedication became quickly evident. By the time the 2023 Italian Certificate Awards took place, Marex had already earned multiple accolades, showcasing the success of our products and the strength of our team; we were honoured with the Certificate of the Year, secured second place in both Issuer of the Year and Innovation Capacity, and earned second place for the Certificate Journal Special Award. These wins not only validated our efforts but also underscored the growing trust in Marex as an issuer of innovative financial products.

As we continued to build on this momentum, 2024 marked even more significant milestones. In February of that year, we issued our first Credit Linked Note (CLN) on Borsa Italiana. This achievement was a significant step forward, reflecting Marex’s commitment to innovation and delivering tailored solutions to our clients. This move supported our growth and helped solidify our presence in the Italian market. 

By mid-2024, Marex FP launched the first-ever Crypto Autocallable product, offering exposure to Bitcoin through the iShares® Bitcoin Trust. This product positioned Marex as a pioneer in the rapidly growing digital asset industry. The launch of the Crypto Autocallable demonstrated Marex’s forward-thinking approach, reinforcing our presence in both traditional structured products and digital assets. 

As 2024 continued, our dedication to providing Italian investors with innovative solutions became apparent as we ranked among the top issuers in the market; ranking #4 on Cert-X and #6 overall by turnover on Borsa Italiana. This reflected the trust and confidence that investors had placed in Marex, as well as our team’s hard work, dedication, and ability to adapt to the market’s changing demands.

Furthermore, Marex was once again recognised at the 2024 Italian Certificate Awards, winning the Certificate of the Year category for the second year in a row. This achievement highlighted the consistency and quality of our product offering. We also received second place for the Special Award for Certificate Journal, Best Issuer with Capital Protection – Direct Listing, and Best Low Strike Certificate. 

In just three years since issuing our first structured product in the Italian market in March 2022, Marex FP has gone from strength to strength, climbing the certified rankings and winning awards.
