Drawing from my experience and careful review of HCFX, I am cautious about the products and asset range potentially available on their platform. HCFX, or Hamilton Court Foreign Exchange, positions itself primarily as a provider of institutional FX, treasury management, and hedging services. Their focus seems to be on foreign exchange markets and customized solutions for large-scale clients, such as hedge funds and corporates. While this specialization is fairly common for UK-based institutional brokers, I notice no explicit mention—either in their publicly available materials or regulatory documents—of direct access to trading precious metals like Gold (XAU/USD) or commodities such as Crude Oil. This omission is significant for me because regulated brokers in the retail or institutional space typically highlight popular assets like gold and oil when such trading is available. Furthermore, their previously held FCA permissions have now lapsed, meaning oversight is no longer in force; this impacts not only confidence in their offerings but also the transparency around what financial products are provided. Given the current information and my framework of prudent risk management, I could not confidently assume that HCFX offers direct trading in Gold or Crude Oil. For traders prioritizing these instruments, I would recommend direct confirmation with HCFX support and seeking a regulated broker with a clearly advertised asset list including commodities and precious metals. This approach helps ensure safety and clarity before committing funds.
