After nearly a decade at iSAM Securities, Jeff Wilkins has joined JT Markets as Partner. Wilkins confirmed the move in a LinkedIn post on Monday, marking the next step in a career spanning two decades across trading technology, brokerage operations, and risk management.

Long Tenure at iSAM Securities

Wilkins joined iSAM Securities in early 2017 and held several leadership roles, including Co-Head of eTrading, Head of Americas, and Managing Director of iS Risk Analytics. During his tenure, he oversaw regional strategy, client risk systems, and trading operations for the firm’s risk management division.

Before joining iSAM Securities, Wilkins served as Managing Director at ThinkLiquidity, a risk management and technology provider later acquired by iS Risk Analytics. He also spent more than six years as Global Head of Risk Management at GFT Global Markets UK and began his career in financial planning and analysis at Steelcase in the United States.

Industry Experience

At JT Markets, Wilkins will bring extensive experience in managing brokerage risk and trading infrastructure. His appointment adds to a series of senior-level industry moves this quarter as financial technology and liquidity providers continue to strengthen their leadership teams.

JT Markets is an offshore-licensed CFD brokerage that offers trading in forex, commodities, indices, and other instruments via the MetaTrader 5 platform. The company is incorporated in Seychelles and holds a derivatives trading license from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority.

Meanwhile, iSAM Securities (UK) Limited reported a sharp drop in profitability for the financial year ended 30 June 2025, with profit before tax falling to £4.5 million from £12.8 million a year earlier, a 65% decline. The result was driven by weaker core trading performance and higher operating costs, but the firm remained in the black as non-operating income offset losses from its main business lines.

Turnover fell to £19.56 million from £27.04 million in 2024, a decrease of £7.48 million, or 27.7%, reflecting softer core trading activity. The company’s core operations generated a loss of £12.2 million, while a significant increase in other non-operating income, despite a 48% drop in interest income, helped lift overall pre-tax profit into positive territory.
