• Marex said its diversified platform is reducing dependence on exchange volumes, with Q2 adjusted PBT rising 9% sequentially despite a 17% decline in key exchange volumes. Management remains confident it can deliver growth toward the high end of its 10%-20% target range.
• Agency and execution, market making, and solutions posted particularly strong results, supported by prime services, metals, FX, Winterflood integration, structured products, and technology investments. Prime revenue reached a record $120 million, while solutions adjusted PBT nearly quadrupled year over year.

Management also cited a strong M&A pipeline, including Bright Point, Levmet, and Webb Traders.
• Group net interest income declined to $30 million from $35 million a year earlier and fell $11 million sequentially, as higher funding costs and the strategic use of excess liquidity outweighed growth in interest income. Management characterized this as a deliberate trade-off, with capital and liquidity issuance supporting future expansion.
