First: Your funds held with us are segregated in our bank trust accounts. We do not comingle your funds with ours when we carry out business activities on a day to day basis.

Second: because you are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)

The FSCS is the compensation funds of last resort for customers of authorised financial services firms. It is an independent body and does not charge individual consumers for using its service.

Hirose Financial UK is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) which has taken over the role of the Financial Services Authority (FSA). If, in the unlikely event, Hirose UK were to become insolvent the FSCS would step in and cover the funds you had been holding with us.

The FSCS is able to cover your investment loss (funds held in your trading account) up to a maximum of £50,000.

The length of time it will take to get compensated will depend on a number of factors, including how complex the case is and how quickly the FSCS can gather information.

No. As the FSCS is a non - profit organisation you will not be charged by for using their service.
