Doo Financial HK Takes Flight with Key License

Doo Financial HK Limited, a subsidiary under the Doo Group umbrella specializing in providing CFDs for retail traders, has recently obtained a Type 1 (Dealing in Securities) License from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). This license authorizes the firm to offer various securities trading services to clients in the region.

The acquisition of the Type 1 license followed a thorough evaluation of Doo Financial‘s operational framework, financial standing, corporate governance practices, and team expertise. This reflects the firm’s commitment to adhering to regulatory standards.

Doo Group operates globally, with operations in various countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Egypt, South Africa, Seychelles, Mauritius, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vanuatu, and Australia. The firm‘s trading platform has experienced significant growth, with a trading volume exceeding $452.3 billion in the first half of 2023, representing a notable 39.4% year-over-year increase. Additionally, the count of active clients on Doo Group’s trading platforms has surpassed 130,000.

With the new license, Doo Financial HK Limited can now conduct a range of securities-related transactions, including executing trades, distributing unit trusts and mutual funds, participating as a joint book-runner, and engaging in placement and underwriting activities.

This achievement adds to Doo Financial HK Limiteds previous successes, including obtaining Type 4 (Advising on Securities) and Type 9 (Asset Management) licenses from the SFC. These licenses enabled the firm to provide investment advice and asset management services, enhancing its service portfolio.

The announcement of the SFC license aligns with Doo Group‘s recent expansion endeavours, notably the inauguration of a new office in Dubai. This initiative aims to strengthen the firm’s capabilities in digital technology, software development, and client support, meeting the demands of its regional clientele.
