Mark Archukov

I’m a multi-asset trader with 5+ years of institutional experience across broker-dealer and asset management environments. I specialize in execution across Fixed Income, Equities, FX, ETFs and Derivatives, with deep coverage of EM, CIS, MENA and Mainland China markets. I’ve consistently built prime broker networks and supported Sales teams with actionable market color.

In my current role at Valor Capital Ltd. (May 2025 – Present), I built a prime broker network of 15+ global counterparties from inception, optimizing liquidity access and reducing execution costs across US, European and Kazakhstan markets. I execute full-cycle multi-asset trading across equities, fixed income and options for discretionary portfolios and investment funds with AUM up to $10M, ensuring best execution from launch through daily portfolio management. I also conduct counterparty due diligence and onboarding to support Investment Committee and Compliance approval workflows.

Previously at Abylai Global Solutions Ltd. (Mar 2023 – May 2025), I spearheaded market entry into Mainland China, MENA and Kazakhstan and led end-to-end broker onboarding and regulatory approvals across 3 jurisdictions. I built and managed a network of 50+ approved counterparties across Fixed Income, Equities, FX and ETFs, executing 4,000+ trades annually with aggregate notional exceeding $500M and 99% accuracy in line with Best Execution policy. I supported Sales with deep-dive market color and led OMS integration with FIX connectivity to prime brokers, automating compliance workflows and improving real-time portfolio limit monitoring.
