We would like to thank iSAM, our employees and our clients for their incredible support and loyalty over the last eight years.”

Jonathan Brewer, who was also Commercial Director of iSAM Securities, said: “Both Raj and I are ready to focus on the next chapters in our lives. The time is right for the very talented team at iSAM to take the business forwards, and we wish them all every success.”

Roy Sher, Managing Director of iSAM, added: “Raj & Jonathan have been instrumental in growing the business and building the team which is now over 50 people. For our clients and teams at iS Prime, iS Risk and iS Prime Hong Kong, it is business as usual.
