In my experience as a trader, risk assessment is critical when considering a broker, and GF Securities (Hong Kong) raises a few important caution flags for me. While the company advertises a long track record (15-20 years) and states it is regulated by the SFC in Hong Kong, the details found are a bit ambiguous. Specifically, there appear to be concerns about a "suspicious scope of business" and "suspicious overrun," suggesting the firm's current regulatory compliance and business activities might not fully align with expected standards. I also see that, despite claiming SFC regulation with license number AOB369, there isn’t transparent, verifiable detail about the exact licenses they hold or their coverage, which prevents me from confirming the strength or breadth of their regulation. This is critical because, for me, knowing exactly what protections are in place is essential before entrusting significant funds or making frequent trades. Another aspect that stands out to me is the "medium potential risk" assessment. Such a label from a risk management perspective means I would need to approach with extra due diligence. In addition, the mention of possible "suspicious overrun" could indicate the broker might be venturing outside permissible business activities, which could expose clients to unexpected liabilities. Given these concerns, my prudent approach would be to verify licensing details directly with the SFC, clarify any grey areas around business scope, and compare with other brokers offering more transparent regulatory assurance before considering opening an account with GF Securities (Hong Kong). For me, transparency and verified compliance come first when choosing a trading partner.
