Profile scope

Institutional exchange-traded derivatives group with separate UK, US FCM and Hong Kong entities. UK company number 02775278 is not an FCA licence number. Hong Kong company disclosure specifies SFC Type 2,BBU921, professional investors only. Kolkata is an operational office, not evidence of a separately licensed Indian broker.

The US disclosure is dated 24 August 2026 despite a June 2026 filename; its financial figures are as of 30 June 2026.
The US firm reported US$48.89 million adjusted net capital and US$31.21 million excess capital at that date.
One customer accounted for at least half of each disclosed domestic and foreign-futures customer-funds category.
UK CASS, US FCM segregation and Hong Kong Type 2 permission must be kept separate.

G.H. Financials is a professional clearing group with separate legal companies in the UK, United States and Hong Kong. Its public service description covers platform choice, consolidated operations and intraday risk controls. The US disclosure adds dated information about customer concentration, counterparties and capital.[5][7]

Parent	G.H. Financials LimitedSource 7
UK equity snapshot	Approximately GBP 74.2 million at 31 March 2026Source 7
Funding relationship	Recurring subordinated loans to the US firmSource 7
US subordinated loans	US$20 million in the 30 June leverage calculationSource 7
Meaning	Parent funding is a disclosed dependency, not a blanket customer guaranteeSource 7

The group’s marketing uses very strong language about CASS protection. The US disclosure is more explicit about residual risk: pooled customer accounts can be exposed to another customer’s unpaid losses, and foreign proceedings can delay returning funds. The profile therefore describes the segregation framework without repeating an absolute recovery guarantee.[6][7]
