In October 1999, Regent Markets receives US$ 2 million investment funding from Jim Mellon through his Regent Pacific Group, a Hong Kong based fund management company.
In classic Silicon Valley style, Hong Kong based hedge fund manager and entrepreneur, Jean-Yves Sireau, starts Regent Markets in his Hong Kong bedroom. He develops the systems, methods and algorithms for implementing a fixed-odds financial trading system. Jean-Yves's vision is to create a market in the simplest of all derivatives contracts - the fixed-odds trade - and to offer ordinary investors the chance to make small trade. Until his innovation, binary options are normally only traded in large quantities.
