Hao Tian Financial

Hao Tian Financial, officially known as Hao Tian International Financial Holdings Limited, is a financial services company registered in Hong Kong. It was founded in September 2017, though its predecessor entity began operations in early 2016. The broker operates under the regulation of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and holds licenses for securities trading, futures trading, securities advisory, and asset management.

The firm is headquartered at 25/F, Shui On Centre, 6-8 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hao Tian International Construction Investment Group Limited, a Hong Kong-listed company. The group's primary focus is on serving local and international clients with a range of financial services, particularly in the Asian markets.

Hao Tian Financial is regulated by the SFC, the primary regulator for securities and futures in Hong Kong. According to public records, the firm holds a Derivatives Trading License (AGN), though its own website lists specific SFC licenses for Type 1, 2, 4, and 9 activities. The SFC is a respected regulator with high standards for capital adequacy, conduct, and client protection.

It is important to note that the SFC does not offer compensation schemes like the FSCS in the UK. However, SFC-licensed entities must adhere to strict rules. The broker's SFC license number for securities is ABQ901 and for futures is BHH235. Our review confirmed these licenses against the SFC public register.

The broker's core services revolve around securities and futures brokerage. It offers trading in Hong Kong stocks, global US stocks, and futures contracts. Additionally, it provides stock margin financing, IPO subscriptions, and equity capital market services such as underwriting and placings. Asset management is available for discretionary portfolio management, targeting institutional and high-net-worth individuals.

The broker does not appear to offer retail forex or CFD trading in the traditional sense. No mention of currency pairs, CFDs on indices, commodities, or cryptocurrencies was found on the website. Instead, its focus is on exchange-traded instruments and related services.

Hao Tian Financial offers cash and margin accounts for securities trading, and a global futures and options account. The account opening application is available for individuals and joint accounts, with online and paper-based options. The broker uses the SP Trader Pro platform for futures trading, which is available on desktop and mobile devices. For securities, a web-based platform is likely provided, though details are limited.

No standard retail FX platforms like MetaTrader 4 or 5 are mentioned. The broker's technology appears tailored to the Asian markets, with a focus on Hong Kong exchange products.

Hao Tian Financial's services are aimed at a broad range of clients, including retail investors, corporate clients, and high-net-worth individuals. The firm claims to serve both local Hong Kong residents and international clients, particularly those interested in Asian equities and futures markets. The asset management division specifically targets professional investors.

Given the broker's lack of retail FX/CFD products, it is not a typical choice for forex traders seeking leverage on currency pairs. Instead, it is more suitable for stock and futures traders focused on Hong Kong and global securities markets.

Clients can fund their accounts via bank transfer, ATM, online banking, cheque, or bank draft. The broker provides bank account details in HKD, USD, and CNY for deposits. Customer support is available via phone at (852) 2127 5788 and email at cs@haotianfin.com. There is also a dedicated Chinese customer service line.

The withdrawal process is not detailed on the website, but standard procedures are expected. The broker's fee schedule is available online, showing commission rates of 0.25% for securities trading, along with standard exchange and regulatory fees.
