iSAM Securities, the UK arm of the multi-billion dollar iSAM Group's trading division, has unveiled its financial results for the year ending June 2023, reporting revenues of £31.6 million and an operating profit of £176,000. The result is almost 11% worse than the 2022 figures, which the company attributes to a "slightly subdued trading environment."

iSAM Securities Reports Lower Financials in 2023

While the figures represent a slight dip from the previous year's turnover of £35 million, the company's Managing Director, Sam Johnson, highlighted significant strides in enhancing its offerings through a multi-million-dollar investment program.

“It is an exciting time here at iSAM Securities, as much of our planning and preparation is due to bear fruit in 2024,” Johnson commented. “Our liquidity provision business is set to see a major shift as we realize long held ambition to globalize our client centric business and unlock a much greater client base for iSAM Securities.”

Among the key developments on the horizon is the expansion of iSAM Securities' product suite, tailored to meet the evolving needs of its clients. "We will see significant increases in our product set, having listened to our clients' needs and delivered on those solutions,” the CEO added.

The company announced its 2023 results just a day after hiring seasoned FX sales veteran Hannah Robson as its newest Sales Director. Robson brings over 10 years of experience in the industry, having previously worked for NatWest, Barclays, and Bloomberg.

Additionally, the company is set to launch risk-sharing model, Parallax, which promises to revolutionize the traditional methodology with enhanced transparency and integrity.

iSAM Securities Expands Leadership Team

In addition to hiring Robson, the firm made three key C-level hires in 2024. In late February, iSAM Securities added Aaron Brown to its team as the new Sales Director to bolster its operations in the Middle East and North Africa.

At the start of the year, the company promoted two veteran team members into critical leadership roles to further its strategic objectives. Samuel Johnson, who was the Global Head of Sales, has been appointed as the Managing Director. Concurrently, Ryan Poole, who spent five years as Head of Quantitative Trading, has taken up the position of Chief Investment Officer.

This wave of leadership enhancements is part of the company's ongoing transformation efforts, including rebranding from ISAM Capital Markets to the now unified iSAM Securities identity, integrating four specialized divisions.
