**About us**:
Hamilton Court FX is a boutique founded in 2011 in London and is now positioned among the fastest-growing companies in the sector. It has been ranked in The Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100 as one of Britain's private companies with the fastest-growing sales.
In 2020, motivated by a strong local growth in the United Kingdom, it took the decision to open a new office in Milan, comprising two regulated entities: a "Società d'Intermediazione Mobiliare" (SIM) and an "Istituto di Pagamento" (IdP), becoming the first licensed SIM to offer investment services related to the Foreign Exchange Market in Italy, where it's now working to expand exponentially its presence. HCFX in Italy provides services for companies, as well as financial institutions, in need of managing their FX exposure. It allows small and medium-sized businesses to trade globally by eliminating boundaries related to traditional procedures.
Its core belief: "Teamwork makes the dream work". HCFX takes the time to understand the needs of its clients and find out what's right for them, before advising on the best course of action. Think of it as a working relationship where the Service Provider does the heavy lifting, while clients guide them along their way. HCFX builds its business around its people: diverse Teams of exceptional individuals who understand the challenges its customers face.
