The new office follows the company’s recent hiring across teams in Hong Kong.
Barry Flanigan will run the new office.
iSAM's new Hong Kong office
iSAM Securities announced today (Tuesday) that it has moved to a new office space in Hong Kong, just days after opening a new office in Cyprus. The company emphasised that the new Hong Kong site will support its global expansion efforts and meet increasing demand across the Asia-Pacific region.
A New Office to Handle Regional Demand
The opening of the new office comes as the company expands its Hong Kong operations with new hires across several teams, including sales, trading, and customer service.

Barry Flanigan, who has been with iSAM since 2009, will lead the new Hong Kong office. He was promoted to Head of Asia Pacific at iSAM Securities last year, having previously served as Head of e-Trading.
“This move is a signal of our strong commitment to the region,” Flanigan said, commenting on the importance of the new Hong Kong site.
“We’re continuing to grow the team to ensure we can support clients with the level of service and expertise they deserve,” he added. “As markets in Asia evolve, it’s important that we’re well-positioned locally to respond quickly, provide high-quality infrastructure, and build long-term partnerships with firms operating across time zones.”
A Global Company
Known for offering institutional liquidity and trading technology, iSAM opened a new office in Limassol late last month to support its clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
In addition to Hong Kong and Cyprus, iSAM Securities operates from offices in the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Cayman Islands. It is regulated by the FCA in the UK, the SFC in Hong Kong, and the CFTC in the US. It is also registered with CIMA in the Cayman Islands.
However, iSAM is not the only company expanding with new sites. Over the past few years, brokers and trading industry service providers have opened offices across various regions. Earlier this year, CMC Markets opened an office in Bermuda after gaining a licence in the offshore jurisdiction. Companies that opened Cyprus offices include Deriv, Doo Prime, CPT Markets, and several others. However, most firms are entering the Middle East, particularly the United Arab Emirates.
