Serhan Eryuksel, formerly EMEA head of business development for the UBS outsourced trading platform, has joined Marex’s outsourced trading team.
Based in London, Eryuksel will focus on sales in the UK, Europe and MENA. He has three decades of experience, half of which at UBS, mainly in senior sales and equity trading roles.
Eryuksel spearheaded “significant growth” at UBS and also served as trading back-up to the multi-asset trading desk in London, according to a statement from Marex, which is seeing record demand for its outsourced trading services.
“Having worked closely with hedge funds, asset managers and family offices, Eryuksel has a clear understanding of what clients need from a trading partner,” said Massimo Labella, co-head of international prime brokerage and outsourced trading.
“His arrival strengthens our ability to connect with managers across regions and strategies, as demand for outsourced trading continues to grow.”
Eryuksel said: “I am thrilled to have joined Marex’s outsourced trading team in London. It’s an exciting time to be in this space – more managers are rethinking how they trade, and I’m looking forward to helping them find the right setup for their needs.”
His hire follows on from the recent expansion in the Middle East, with Marex veteran Charlie Monson joining their outsourced trading team in Dubai last month.
Marex’s offering in the region now has the ability to support managers across the entire lifecycle, from execution to fundraising.
