CMC Markets has consolidated its corporate structure in Singapore by merging its stockbroking entity with its primary local unit, which has traditionally offered contracts for differences (CFDs). Despite the merger at the corporate level, the broker will continue to operate two platforms in the market, CMC Markets and CMC Invest, for the time being.
The London-headquartered broker is preparing to launch a multi-asset platform in Singapore in the coming months. According to Christopher Forbes, Head of Asia and the Middle East at CMC Markets, simplifying the local structure is intended to support this initiative. He stated that the streamlined setup "clears the way for a platform that brings trading and investing together: something this market has been waiting for."
Following the corporate consolidation, clients using the CMC Markets platform are expected to gain access to new features and functionality. In contrast, there will be no changes to the CMC Invest platform as a result of the restructuring. The broker aims to use the new multi-asset app as the first step towards its broader financial super app ambitions.
Multi-asset and super app roadmap
CMC Markets plans to bring all its traditional finance products under a single platform as the initial phase of its super app strategy. The second phase is expected to add decentralised finance (DeFi) products, combining self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) and individual savings accounts (ISAs) with tokenised products, stablecoins and CapX investing. A third phase of development will focus on integrating payments and banking products into the same ecosystem.
The broker views the multi-asset app as a way to connect trading and investing capabilities in Singapore under one offering while maintaining separate front-end experiences for CMC Markets and CMC Invest. The structural simplification in Singapore is positioned as an enabler for rolling out this unified platform and subsequent product enhancements.
Recent financial performance
CMC Markets is listed in London and reported net income of £35.7 million on revenue of £186.2 million for the six months between April and September 2025. These figures provide the financial backdrop to the firm’s investment in technology and its phased super app rollout, including the upcoming launch of the multi-asset platform in Singapore.
