​​ACY Securities has appointed Phil Kim as the new Director of Institutional Sales for Asia, a big move to enhance its institutional division, ACY Connect. Based in Hong Kong, Kim brings nearly 20 years of experience in the foreign exchange (FX) market, which will be invaluable for driving the firm's business development efforts in the region.

In his new role, Kim will focus on building relationships with institutional clients and exploring new opportunities across the global market. He will report directly to ACY Securities' CEO, Jimmy Ye, and collaborate closely with the ACY Connect team to ensure that sales strategies align with the company's ambitious growth objectives.

Kim's career includes significant roles at reputable firms such as ISAM Securities, Sucden Financial, and LMAX Group, where he spearheaded institutional sales in the Asia-Pacific region. His extensive background in the financial markets positions him well to contribute to ACY Connect's objectives, particularly as the company seeks to enhance its offerings for institutional clients, including banks and hedge funds.

Jimmy Ye expressed enthusiasm about Kim's appointment, stating, "Phil's impressive track record in institutional sales within the FX sector makes him a crucial asset as we work to broaden our global presence. His expertise will play a key role in advancing our business initiatives in Asia, and we are excited about the value he will add to our team."

Before moving to Hong Kong in 2011, Kim served as Vice President at FXCMPro in New York, further solidifying his credentials in the industry. He voiced his excitement about joining ACY Group, recognizing its strong reputation in the financial services sector. "I look forward to expanding the ACY Connect institutional offerings and client base on a global scale" Kim remarked.
