Entity and regulatory research

Evidence status

No SVG FSA Forex licence

Legal entity

HF Markets (SV) Ltd

Regulator

St. Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority

Finding

SVG FSA states it does not issue Forex trading/brokerage licences or regulate/license BCs and LLCs for that activity. Thus the selected SVG entity has no SVG FSA Forex authorization; incorporation is distinct.

Scope

Local SVG authorization only. Not a claim about other HFM entities, overseas licences, or illegality. Corporate registration/standing for 22747 IBC 2015 was not independently confirmed. The cited warning targets another company; only its general regulatory policy is used.

Supporting sources

• SVG FSA — February 2026 notice stating general Forex licensing policy
• SVG FSA: general Forex licensing policy in warning notice
• HFM international demo: entity and country exclusions

Reading the evidence

Documentation research, not account or execution testing. Research regions do not establish residence eligibility. Requires Verification is an evidence gap, not proof of unavailability. Source conflicts and product/entity qualifications must remain attached to claims. Demo results do not establish live trading performance.
