Sucden Financial has opened a European office in Hamburg,

Exchange (LME).

Marc Bailey, Chief Executive Officer, Sucden Financial Limited
The team is led by Christoph Domisch, Barry Gershon, and
Christoph Chopin. The office will initially offer LME contracts to clients in
Germany and across the EU, with potential plans to expand into commodity
derivatives and foreign exchange markets.
Marc Bailey, CEO of Sucden Financial Limited, noted that the
Hamburg office is part of the company's strategy to enhance global reach and
meet client needs in dynamic markets. He highlighted the investment in
resources to leverage opportunities in Europe.
“Our investment of financial, intellectual, and human
capital in this important step underlines our commitment to capitalise on the
opportunities that dynamic and changing markets present to our clients," Bailey
commented.
We are grateful for the diligence and support of many
stakeholders, including BaFin, in enabling responsible companies to participate
in this highly respected international jurisdiction,” he added.
Hamburg Office Supporting Metals Demand Expansion
Christoph Domisch. Co-Managing Director, Sucden Financial
Hamburg, stated that Germany's strong demand for industrial metals positions
the Hamburg office to support major metals users, producers, and recyclers in
the region. Barry Gershon, Co-Managing Director, Sucden Financial Hamburg, emphasized the office’s role in providing
expanded services, fostering liquidity, and improving risk management for
European clients.
Sucden Financial, with over 50 years of experience in
financial markets, operates as an independent entity under the parent group
Sucden.
Earlier, Sucden
Financial disclosed an increase in profits and net assets for 2023, despite
a 13% decline in revenue, as Finance
Magnates reported earlier. The company recorded a pre-tax profit of £23.9
million for the year ending December 31, 2023, a 30% rise from £18.4 million in
2022. Net assets grew to £168.5 million from £160.7 million in 2022.
However, net revenue fell to £69.7 million from £79.8
million the previous year, reflecting a volatile market environment. The
revenue figure is close to that of 2021, which stood at £69.8 million, with a
pre-tax profit of £18.0 million.
Sucden Financial, with over 50 years of market experience,
has expanded from its origins in commodities trading into fixed-income and FX
markets.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
