Drawing on my research and direct experience with evaluating brokers, I can confirm that FFG Securities is, at heart, a Japanese brokerage focused on traditional financial instruments. When I looked into their product lineup, I found their primary offerings are domestic and foreign stocks, bonds, ETFs, REITs, and investment trusts. Importantly for me as a trader who sometimes seeks access to commodities like gold (XAU/USD) or crude oil, I noticed there was no mention of these asset classes in their available markets. This absence aligns with FFG Securities’ clear orientation toward securities investment, rather than commodity or spot forex trading. There is no access to direct commodities trading or popular derivatives on gold or oil. The broker also does not support forex pairs, including XAU/USD, and there's likewise no access to oil futures or CFDs. From my perspective, if your trading approach centers on gold, oil, or similar commodities, FFG Securities won’t be able to meet those needs. I believe this limitation stems from regulatory focus and market specialization within Japanese financial services, where firms like FFG Securities typically stick to regulated securities and avoid leveraged or complex commodity products. For me, this is a key factor to consider when selecting a broker, particularly if asset variety and exposure to global markets beyond equities and bonds are important to my strategy.
