NH Investment Securities Regulation — What You Need to Know
Regulation is one of the most important factors when choosing a broker. A well-regulated broker must segregate client funds from its own operating capital, maintain minimum capital reserves, and submit to regular audits. This protects your money in the event of broker insolvency.
NH Investment Securities holds 1 regulatory licence from FSC. The broker has been operating since 1969, giving it 57 years of track record.
When evaluating broker safety, look beyond the licence itself: check for investor compensation schemes, negative balance protection, and whether the broker publishes audited financial statements. Our rating methodology weights regulation at 25% of the overall broker score — the single largest factor.
