producers or consumers of commodities, as these market participants have a need to trade on an ongoing basis to manage their business risk regardless of market conditions. However, given that the Company is one of several companies offering these
services to clients (including its key competitors highlighted on pages 6 and 118 of Submission No.&nbsp;2), the Company does not believe that it alone is an essential service provider to any client. </P>

as part of an annual analysis of the Company&#146;s revenue generated from its clients. The clients highlighted in the case studies are examples of the larger client types that the Company serves (predominantly producers, consumers and asset
managers) and were selected to demonstrate the range and depth of the different services offered by each of the Company&#146;s business segments, including across different asset classes within these business segments. The Company believes that,
while these case studies are only a selected sample used to show the range of services offered by the Company, they provide a helpful example of how four of the Company&#146;s existing clients have deepened their relationship with the Company over
the relevant period as a result of receiving additional new types of services and/or using more of the existing services the Company previously provided to such clients. </P>

respectfully acknowledges the Staff&#146;s comment and advises the Staff that volatility and absolute commodity prices were lower year on year in 2023 compared to 2022. By way of example, the VIX average was $17 in 2023 compared to $26 in 2022, and
the Bloomberg Commodity Price index average was $104 in 2023 compared to $119 in 2022. As a result, the revenue generated by certain asset classes was lower in 2023 than in 2022. However, the Company notes that due to the overall diversification of
its business and revenue across its services and asset classes, supported by the benefit of growth investments and higher interest rates, its total revenue and profitability materially increased year on year in 2023. </P>

years, namely the 2020 anti-money laundering systems and controls matter, is specifically mentioned in the risk factor on page 34 of Submission No.&nbsp;2 under the bullet &#147;Anti-Money Laundering Compliance.&#148; The Company notes that this
sanction was limited to enhanced monitoring by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority for a limited period during the self-remediation program and upon implementation of the updated processes only. As the only significant sanction is mentioned in the
risk factor, the Company believes that its compliance with regulatory requirements is fully disclosed. </P>

Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff&#146;s comment and advises the Staff that the financial loss experienced by the Company in relation to the legal proceedings with BlockFi Inc. (&#147;<B><I>BlockFi</I></B>&#148;) is limited to the
immaterial legal fees that it has incurred in connection with such proceedings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The proceeding with BlockFi, which was initiated on
November&nbsp;8, 2022, is an adversary complaint in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey against: (i)&nbsp;Emergent Fidelity Technologies LTD (&#147;<B><I>Emergent</I></B>&#148;), a client of Marex Capital Markets Inc.
(&#147;<B><I>MCMI</I></B>&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;MCMI, seeking to enforce the terms of a pledge agreement between Emergent and BlockFi over certain collateral (the &#147;<B><I>Pledged Collateral</I></B>&#148;) that BlockFi alleges to be its assets.
MCMI, in its capacity as broker dealer for Emergent, had custody of the Pledged Collateral in dispute during the period between May 2022 to January 2023 in a client account of Emergent held with MCMI. The Pledged Collateral was only held by MCMI as
a client asset. The Pledged Collateral was not held on MCMI&#146;s balance sheet as an asset of MCMI. The Pledged Collateral consisted of 55,273,469 shares of Robinhood Markets Inc, the closing price of which on Nasdaq was $8.14 per share as of
December&nbsp;31, 2022, resulting in a market value of $449,926,036. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The complaint does not allege that MCMI engaged in any wrongdoing or
wrongful misconduct; it only alleges that MCMI had been the custodian of the Pledged Collateral that is subject to BlockFi&#146;s purported claims. On January&nbsp;4, 2023, MCMI fully complied with a Warrant of Seizure issued by the U.S. Department
of Justice (&#147;<B><I>DOJ</I></B>&#148;), pursuant to which the DOJ seized the Pledged Collateral. As a result, MCMI no longer holds the Pledged Collateral. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company does not expect these legal proceedings to have a material impact on its business because: (i)&nbsp;it is not alleged that MCMI
engaged in any wrongdoing or wrongful misconduct; (ii)&nbsp;MCMI&#146;s involvement is limited to complying with the Warrant of Seizure from the DOJ, which it has done; and (iii)&nbsp;the legal fees it has incurred in connection with these legal
proceedings are immaterial. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has revised the risk factor on pages 36 and 37 of Submission No.&nbsp;2 to further clarify. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Response</I>: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff&#146;s comment and advises the Staff that, with regard to the approach of its
board of directors (its &#147;<B><I>Board</I></B>&#148;) generally, the Board delegates responsibility for the management of risk within the Company&#146;s business to the Risk Committee. The Risk Committee is tasked with overseeing and managing
risks and providing advice to the Board on the Company&#146;s current risk exposures and future risk strategies. The Chair of the Risk Committee and other members (as needed) will then liaise with key individuals involved in the Company&#146;s
governance, such as the Chief Executive Officer and Board, to ensure that its risk management and internal controls are reviewed regularly, and a section of the annual report delivered to the Board describes the work of the Risk Committee. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Risk Committee of the Board sets the overall risk appetite through various lenses and limits. The Company&#146;s Chief Risk Officer
(&#147;<B><I>CRO</I></B>&#148;) controls the risk appetite through risk frameworks, such as a Country Risk Framework and Market Risk Framework, and imposes various limits to avoid the buildup of unwanted concentration risks. The CRO monitors various
key risk indicators, including financial crime, sanction risks, operational resilience, cybersecurity, market volatility and sectoral risks, and the CRO escalates indicators as appropriate to the Risk Committee, which, in turn, will escalate as
appropriate for discussion by the Board. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With regard to risks arising specifically in relation to Russia&#146;s invasion of Ukraine, the
Board considered the analysis and reporting by both the Risk Committee and Company&#146;s executive management team in seeking to understand the Company&#146;s: (i)&nbsp;exposure to the two countries, which was minimal; (ii)&nbsp;approach to
managing the impact of market volatility on the Company&#146;s counterparty and liquidity risk; and (iii)&nbsp;the possibility and effect of sanctions on the Company&#146;s clients. With the Risk Committee, the Board also supported the
Company&#146;s preparedness for the invasion as it looked to restructure its exposures to certain clients (through, for example, the use of additional credit support and its efforts to balance their positions in anticipation of any potential impact
on their activities). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the foregoing, consideration was given to the impact on the Company&#146;s trading profit and loss.
The Company notes that, while this was not deemed a priority due to the relatively minimal nature of its market risk, the Board sought to ensure that the calibration of liquidity shocks continued to cover such a scenario on an ongoing basis. </P>

strategy is to grow &#147;High Quality Earnings.&#148; Following the established finance theory, the Company regards &#147;High Quality Earnings&#148; as earnings that are: not volatile, stable month to month, easy to forecast and indicative of a
business model that does not take a lot of risk. To quantify this, the Company uses the Sharpe ratio, a statistical measure of earnings stability, and compares the dispersion of monthly profit over its monthly average in a period. For example, for
the same average monthly earnings, a firm with highly variable earnings will have a lower Sharpe ratio than a firm with stable recurring earnings. The Sharpe ratio does not determine the increase or decline in earnings between periods; it is only a
measure of the dispersion of readings during a period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For example, Firm A and Firm B below have the same average earnings, with higher

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s Sharpe ratio increased from 1.8 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021 to 2.8 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022,
with average monthly profit after tax growing from $4.7&nbsp;million to $8.2&nbsp;million for the same periods, and standard deviation in monthly profit after tax increasing from $2.6&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021 to
$3.0&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022, as goodwill impairment charges and acquisitions costs were reported in certain months rather than spread across the year. However, the growth in profit after tax was higher than the
increased volatility, resulting in a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">year-on-year</FONT></FONT> increase in Sharpe ratio. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As the Company uses Adjusted Operating Profit as the basis for management&#146;s assessment of its operations, it also uses an Adjusted Sharpe
ratio. The Company&#146;s Adjusted Sharpe ratio increased from 2.2 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021 to 4.1 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022, with a decline in standard deviation of monthly Adjusted Operating Profit from
$3.0&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021 to $2.5&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022 and average monthly Adjusted Operating Profit growing from $6.6&nbsp;million to $10.1&nbsp;million, respectively, over the
same periods. This evidences that the Company&#146;s improved Sharpe ratio was driven by both growing Adjusted Operating Profit and lower volatility in monthly Adjusted Operating Profit. </P>

articulated and controlled through various mechanisms, including: (i)&nbsp;risk appetite statements across the various risk categories; and (ii)&nbsp;taxonomy covering metrics such as: (A)&nbsp;liquidity, (B) regulatory capital, (C)&nbsp;credit
risk, (D)&nbsp;market risk, (E)&nbsp;profitability, (F) operational risk, (G)&nbsp;business disruption and operational resilience, (H)&nbsp;information security, (I)&nbsp;governance, (J) reputation, (K)&nbsp;change regulatory compliance and
(L)&nbsp;financial crime (together, the &#147;<B><I>Risk Factors</I></B>&#148;). A risk tolerance is set for each, which allows the Company to measure its risk against its strategic objectives. These tolerances range from very low, low and moderate
to acceptable, with the majority set at either low or very low. The Board has a moderate risk appetite with respect to change management within the Company as it looks for the infrastructure and control environment to grow with the business and
manage change in a consistent and deliberate manner. The Board also has a moderate risk appetite for credit and market risk, as it seeks to build a business that generates growing earnings from a solid business foundation. However, the Board
recognizes the need to balance the investment for future growth against the need to maintain sustainable earnings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Board-implemented risk
limits are set across each of these Risk Factors above and establish the boundaries within which the Company&#146;s executive managers are empowered to operate and allow the true
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> risk profile of the organization to fluctuate in the course of executing strategic objectives in accordance with the Board&#146;s strategy and risk appetite.
The Company&#146;s executive managers have established lower-level key risk indicators to manage the daily operations at a more granular level. For businesses that are not controlled by VaR, or where a significant part of the business&#146;
portfolio consists of options, risk is managed through various stress shocks across price, volatility, dividend and correlation where appropriate. The shocks are both upward and downward and are calibrated to cover movements expected in normal
markets as well as extended stresses for more extreme markets. These stress-based frameworks, which are market-based, are complemented by a suite of sensitivity limits to avoid the buildup of unwanted concentration risks and can cover both primary
order (such as price sensitivity) and second order (such as volatility) risk factors, with the option for separate limits for different durations. Risk sensitivities include delta, vega, time weighted vega, dividend risk, equity-equity correlations,
equity-fx correlations, gamma and theta. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Interest Rate Risk, page 114 </I></B></P>

against a future quoted price after settlement of the underlying commodity. Provisionally priced payables and receivables are measured initially and subsequently at their fair value through profit and loss until settlement and are presented within

due but the counterparty has a high credit rating, large volumes of trades and the Company has experience with the counterparty, with a history of collection after 180 days, the Company may not consider the past due days to be indicative of a
significant deterioration in credit quality, depending on the circumstances, which would consider both quantitative and qualitative factors. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that although this process is part of the Company&#146;s credit

levels of market volatility within the industry in which the counterparty operates. At each reporting date, the Company reviews the days past due information for each counterparty. Additionally, in combination with the days past due methodology
subject to IFRS 9, the Company also reviews the most recent internally derived credit ratings, which have been identified as the best available determinant of credit risk. The Company updates the internally derived credit ratings as new information
becomes available and reassesses the ratings annually. Credit deterioration is deemed to have taken place if additional information comes to light that adversely impacts the internal credit rating provided, specifically market news from other
counterparties or other market guidance. Further to this, the Company undertakes a review of its clients and counterparties monthly to ensure that collection activities are progressing as expected but also to determine if any remedial actions are
required. All of these factors are considered in the matrix analysis to measure the expected credit loss under the Simplified Approach at each reporting date. </P>
