Industry:    11 hours ago

Marex Group will acquire Singapore-based clearing business Bright Point International (BPI), ​the firm said late on ‌Thursday, as it seeks to expand its footprint across Asia-Pacific and gain ​access to Chinese markets.

The firms ​did not disclose the terms of ⁠the deal.

Here are more details:

  • The ​transaction is subject to regulatory approval ​and is expected to close by late 2026 or early 2027.
  • The deal will ​add roughly $800 million in client ​balances and more than 70 employees across Singapore, ‌Hong ⁠Kong, China, Norway, and the UK.
  • London-headquartered global financial services platform Marex said the acquisition is expected ​to drive ​additional ⁠revenue through new clients and higher balances, and to ​generate synergies by internalising some ​clearing ⁠activities.
  • BPI serves clients across commodities and financial products, including FX, index ⁠futures ​and options, and ​digital asset derivatives in the Asia Pacific.
