Based on my research and experience evaluating brokerage offerings, GF Securities (Hong Kong) primarily positions itself as a provider of global securities, investment banking, wealth management, and investment management services. Their main regulatory status is with the Hong Kong SFC for dealing in securities and futures contracts, which is reassuring from a compliance standpoint. However, when it comes to trading popular retail instruments like Gold (XAU/USD) and Crude Oil, I found no direct indication that these specific CFD or spot forex products are part of their retail offering. Their product suite seems to focus more on equities, bonds, structured products, and a range of institutional services rather than the leveraged spot trading of commodities like gold or oil that many forex traders are accustomed to. While they mention structured notes and cross-asset solutions, without explicit confirmation of spot XAU/USD or energy pairs, I treat this as a potential limitation. As a conservative trader, I view this absence of clear information as a sign to exercise caution and possibly seek further direct clarification from their team before opening an account if trading gold or oil pairs is essential to my strategy. For now, I would not assume these assets are available for standard retail trading through GF Securities (Hong Kong).
