LONDON, 28 July, 2016 – Marex Financial Limited, a subsidiary of global commodities broker Marex Spectron Group Limited, has become a member of European Commodity Clearing (ECC), a central clearing house for energy and related products in Europe, and ICE Endex, Intercontinental Exchange’s continental European energy exchange for natural gas and power markets.
The admission to ECC will allow Marex Financial to provide clearing services for all ECC Non-Clearing Members while membership of ICE Endex authorises Marex Financial to clear trades on that exchange on behalf of its clients or other trading participants.
