Exclusive FNG interview… We are pleased to speak today with iSAM CEO Alexander Lowe about iSAM Securities’ transformational year.
Since 2014, iSAM Securities has been a leading provider of bespoke liquidity solutions, trading technology and risk advisory services worldwide. Over the past year, the brand has evolved by combining the iS Prime and iS Risk product lines under the general name iSAM Securities. This began to align iSAM Securities more closely with its parent company, the $5 billion systematic hedge fund manager, iSAM. In this exclusive interview, Alexander Lowe, CEO of iSAM, reveals the motivation behind these strategic changes and his vision for the group going forward.
FNG: Hello Alexander and thank you for joining us today. What was the strategic vision behind combining iS Prime and iS Risk under the iSAM Securities brand?
Alexander: Initially iS Prime and iS Risk were positioned as product lines within the group. However, we have since combined their resources and assets under the iSAM Securities brand in order to more clearly represent ourselves as a one-stop destination for liquidity, technology and leading services. We believe that the best way to ensure consistent results is to have foundations that are simple, efficient and scalable. Our new brand helps us convey this message to the wider community.
FNG: How will these changes affect existing or potential customers in the future?
Alexander: The name change will only be based on customer experience with the further merging of the group’s services. Clients can rest assured that they will continue to receive the same exemplary service from our experienced and professional team, who will continue to help them excel in a highly competitive space. iSAM Securities will offer the same high standards of service as we always have.
This rebranding simply opens the door for us to grow and evolve our products and services under the same brand, while continuing to work on the facilities already accessible to our customers, establishing ourselves as a key partner in the market.
FNG: Looking ahead, can you give a glimpse of your vision for the growth and success of iSAM Securities in the future?
Alexander: Our vision at iSAM Securities is based on dynamic growth and unwavering commitment to our clients and partners. Our products will continue to evolve, with innovations such as the recent introduction of the Crypto Margin Facility, enabling customers to deposit digital currencies as margin. With the recent appointment of Sam Johnson, Global Head of Business Development, iSAM Securities, our dedicated team remains at the core of our success.
We focus on their continued development and ensuring that we can offer the highest level of expertise to all customers. As the financial industry continues to evolve, iSAM Securities remains at the forefront, delivering innovative solutions that empower clients and redefine financial services.
