Marex and NatWest have announced a new cross-margining
arrangement that enables FX clients to reduce collateral requirements by
linking futures and prime brokerage positions. The initiative targets
institutions that use Marex for FX futures and NatWest for FX prime brokerage,
promising a margin relief through a coordinated service.
The collaboration aims to improve capital efficiency for
clients without requiring them to consolidate providers. Both firms say the
solution supports clients who maintain separate relationships for clearing and
prime brokerage but seek to avoid double margining.
The service is expected to appeal to institutions active in
both listed and OTC FX markets, particularly those seeking to optimise
collateral usage in a fragmented trading environment. Both firms indicated the
move expands their offerings and enhances competitiveness in a
capital-sensitive market.
Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
