Marex Group announced it has agreed to acquire Bright Point International (BPI), a Singapore-based clearing business, in a move designed to strengthen its presence across the Asia-Pacific region and expand client access to Chinese financial markets.
BPI operates a multi-asset clearing platform with strong relationships across Asia-Pacific and China. The company provides clients with access to commodities and financial products, including foreign exchange (FX), index futures and options, and digital asset derivatives. The acquisition is expected to add approximately $800 million in client balances to Marex, along with more than 70 employees located across Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
The acquisition supports Marex’s strategy of expanding its global clearing business by increasing scale, broadening its regional expertise, and enhancing its service offerings in one of the world’s fastest-growing financial markets. The deal is also expected to create operational efficiencies through the internalization of certain clearing activities while expanding revenue opportunities through a larger client base and higher client balances.
The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in late 2026 or early 2027.
KEY QUOTES:
“BPI is a well-established business with an experienced and high-quality team. This deal will drive additional revenues by adding clients and increasing client balances and is also expected to provide material synergies from the internalization of some clearing activities. Importantly, it will also enhance our ability to service clients in Asia with a broader range of services from the Marex platform and provide existing Marex clients with an improved access to Chinese markets.”
Thomas Texier, Group Head of Clearing at Marex
“Today’s announcement marks an exciting new chapter for BPI. Joining Marex represents a significant opportunity to accelerate our growth, broaden the solutions we can offer our clients and provide our people with access to a truly global platform. We share a common commitment to integrity and client service, and I am confident that together we will be even better positioned to support our customers in an increasingly dynamic marketplace.”
Kenny Mah, Group CEO of Bright Point International
