Marex has appointed Davi Quixadá in Brazil, marking the first on-the-ground presence for its Prime Services business in the LatAm region.
Based in São Paulo, Quixadá will focus on supporting Brazilian institutional clients with access to Marex’s global prime brokerage and financial services platform.
According to Marex, his appointment reflects the firm’s continued expansion across Latin America and the growing demand from regional investors for efficient access to global markets.
Quixadá brings 20 years’ experience in electronic trading and institutional markets to the role, joining the firm following almost three years at Lev DTVM as chief operating officer.
Here, he also led the equities and electronic trading teams, driving consistent growth and record trading volumes for institutional clients.
Prior to that, he built his career at Santander Brazil and XP Investimentos, specialising in creating market solutions using systems and algorithmic strategies.
With his work increasingly focused on developed markets, Quixadá produces analytical content on geopolitics, defence, global economics, history, and philosophy that he shares with institutional investors in Brazil seeking a broader international perspective.
At Marex, Quixadá will work closely with colleagues across the firm’s global prime brokerage network to develop relationships with hedge funds, asset managers, and institutional investors across Brazil and the wider region.
His focus will be on connecting local clients to international opportunities and delivering flexible, tailored trading and financing solutions designed around institutional client needs.
Commenting on his new role, Quixadá states: “Brazil, in particular, has a sophisticated and increasingly global investment community, with many managers looking to broaden their strategies and engage more actively with international markets.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with hedge funds, asset managers, and institutional trading firms across the region — helping connect them with the global network, market access, and institutional support they need as they grow.
“Marex’s breadth of platform and entrepreneurial culture were a big draw for me. Its strong prime brokerage capabilities combined with the firm’s wider financial services offering creates a compelling proposition for clients, and I’m excited to help build that presence locally.”
Jack Seibald, global co-head of Prime Services and Outsourced Trading at Marex, adds: “This is a significant milestone — our first prime services team member in the LatAm region.
“Davi has extensive experience in electronic trading and institutional markets and also produces insightful content for local institutional investors, offering them a global perspective on economics, geopolitics, history, and philosophy that goes beyond the standard domestic viewpoint.
“Latin America is an increasingly important market for the global alternatives community, and Brazil in particular has a vibrant and sophisticated hedge fund ecosystem.”
The firm aims to support managers throughout their growth journey; combining prime brokerage, outsourced trading, and capital introduction within a globally connected platform.
