Marex is being sued for allegedly misappropriating trade secrets and fraud by RVassets, a London-based developer of algorithms for options trading.

In a lawsuit filed on 27 September at the US District Court in Chicago, RVassets claimed that ED&F Man Capital Markets — which was acquired by Marex in 2022 — improperly accessed and replicated the firm’s options trading software.
