Phillip Securities partners with Integral

Pivot toward institutional markets

Phillip Securities, long recognised for its strong presence in the retail trading segment, is expanding deeper into institutional FX services. The firm has selected Integral’s pricing and distribution technology to support this strategic shift, enabling the broker to scale FX Contract for Difference (CFD) capabilities and service a larger and more sophisticated client base.

By integrating Integral’s solution suite, Phillip Securities will be able to manage higher FX trade volumes with improved efficiency. The upgrade complements its existing equity CFD offering and strengthens the firm’s multi-asset trading infrastructure across Asia.

Integral’s technology—already adopted by Phillip Nova and Phillip Securities Japan—will now deliver real-time market data, direct price distribution, and multi-entity support within the broader PhillipCapital ecosystem.

Advanced execution via direct market access

A key feature of the integration is the introduction of Direct Market Access (DMA) for institutional clients. DMA allows users to execute FX trades with greater transparency, lower latency and enhanced pricing accuracy, mirroring execution standards used by global banks and professional trading firms.

The model is gaining traction across the Asia-Pacific region, particularly among institutional investors seeking alternatives to traditional dealing-desk environments. Phillip Securities notes that the scalability of the technology will also allow for future expansion into additional FX instruments.

Luke Lim, Managing Director of Phillip Securities, said the partnership marks a milestone in the firm’s evolution:

“Diversifying into the institutional markets is a key pillar of our development strategy, and Integral’s solutions give us the pricing precision and distribution efficiency to deliver an institutional-grade FX capability that meets the expectations of today’s professional clients.”

Integral’s CEO, Harpal Sandhu, added that Phillip Securities’ adoption underscores the value the technology has already brought to other PhillipCapital entities:

“To excel in institutional markets, garnering the trust of clients is key. The reliability and efficiency of Integral’s technology will support Phillip Securities in securing this trust, and we look forward to working with the company in this next step in its journey.”

A growing footprint in APAC’s FX landscape

With increasing demand for sophisticated FX services across the region, the partnership positions Phillip Securities to become a stronger competitor in institutional markets. Its enhanced FX infrastructure, combined with the credibility of the PhillipCapital Group, is expected to deepen relationships with professional investors and support long-term growth.

Looking ahead, the firm is expected to continue expanding its FX offering, unlocking more instruments and execution models as institutional participation in APAC rises.
