Marex Group Limited said on Thursday it had struck an agreement to buy Bright Point International, a Singapore-based multi-asset clearing business with Asia-Pacific and China-linked client relationships. Regulatory approval is still required, and the transaction is expected to be completed in late 2026 or early 2027.
The acquisition will bring in about $800 million in client balances and more than 70 staff across Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Norway, and the UK. Bright Point International offers clients access to commodities, FX, index futures and options, as well as digital asset derivatives, and holds licences in both Hong Kong and Singapore.
Marex said it expects the deal to generate additional revenue from new clients and higher balances, along with synergies from internalizing some clearing activities. The company said the transaction would also give existing Marex clients improved access to Chinese markets.
“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,” said Thomas Texier, Group Head of Clearing at Marex.
The acquisition follows Marex’s 2025 launch of internationalized Chinese futures contracts after gaining approval to operate as an Overseas Intermediary, along with the opening of offices in Hong Kong and Tokyo as part of a broader Asia-Pacific push.
