Hamilton Court FX, founded in 2011 in London, is one of the fastest-growing companies in its sector. It has been featured in The Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100 for its rapid sales growth.

In 2020, driven by strong growth in the UK, HCFX opened a new office in Milan, becoming the first licensed SIM to offer FX investment services in Italy. The Milan office includes two regulated entities : a “Società d’Intermediazione Mobiliare” (SIM) and an “Istituto di Pagamento” (IdP). HCFX Italy helps companies and financial institutions manage their FX exposure, enabling SMEs to trade globally by simplifying traditional procedures.

HCFX believes in “Teamwork makes the dream work.” They prioritize understanding client needs to provide tailored advice, building their business around diverse teams who understand customer challenges.
