About the Regulator

The Financial Services
Commission, Mauritius

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius is the integrated regulator for the non-bank financial services sector and global business in Mauritius. Established under the Financial Services Act 2007, the FSC supervises and regulates financial institutions including investment dealers, fund managers, and insurance companies.

Mauritius is a member of the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG) and has a robust legal framework aligned with international best practices including FATF (Financial Action Task Force) recommendations. The jurisdiction is recognised globally as a reputable and well-regulated international financial centre.

As an FSC-licensed Investment Dealer, GBH Markets Ltd is subject to ongoing regulatory supervision, mandatory capital adequacy requirements, client money segregation rules, AML/CFT compliance, and periodic regulatory reporting obligations.

Client Protections

How We Protect Your Funds

Regulation is not just a licence — it is a binding commitment to protect every client. Here is exactly what our FSC licence requires us to do for you.

Segregated Client Funds
All client deposits are held in dedicated segregated accounts at tier-1 banking institutions, kept entirely separate from GBH Markets' operational funds. Your money cannot be used for company expenses under any circumstances.
Capital Adequacy Requirements
The FSC mandates that GBH Markets maintains minimum capital adequacy levels at all times. This ensures the company has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations to all clients, even under stressed market conditions.
Negative Balance Protection
GBH Markets guarantees that you can never lose more than your deposited balance. If a position moves against you and your equity reaches zero, the account is automatically stopped — you will never owe us money beyond your deposit.
Transparent Pricing
FSC regulations require that we provide fair and transparent pricing to all clients. All spreads, commissions, swap rates, and fees are clearly disclosed before any account is opened. There are no hidden charges.
AML & KYC Compliance
We are legally required to verify the identity of all clients (KYC) and monitor all transactions for suspicious activity (AML). This protects you from fraud, identity theft, and illicit financial activity on our platform.
Formal Complaints Process
As a regulated entity, we are required to maintain a formal complaints handling procedure. All complaints must be acknowledged within 2 business days and resolved within 15 business days. Unresolved complaints can be escalated to the FSC directly.
Compliance Framework

Our Regulatory Obligations

Operating under FSC Mauritius authorisation means GBH Markets must comply with an extensive framework of ongoing regulatory obligations.

01
Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
GBH Markets maintains a comprehensive AML programme aligned with FATF recommendations and the Mauritius Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act. A dedicated Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) oversees all compliance activity.
02
Know Your Customer (KYC)
Mandatory identity verification for all clients before any funds are accepted. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is applied to high-risk clients including Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and clients from higher-risk jurisdictions.
03
Sanctions Screening
All clients and transactions are screened against international sanctions lists including UN, EU, OFAC (US Treasury), and HMT (UK) lists. Clients from sanctioned jurisdictions are declined and any suspicious activity is reported to relevant authorities.
04
Best Execution Policy
GBH Markets is obligated to execute all client orders on the best possible terms. Our execution policy prioritises price, speed, and likelihood of execution. Our NDD model ensures no conflict of interest in order execution.
05
Data Protection
Client data is handled in accordance with the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017. All personal data is stored securely with 256-bit encryption, access controls, and a documented retention and deletion policy. Clients have the right to access and correct their personal data.
06
Regular Regulatory Reporting
GBH Markets submits periodic financial and compliance reports to the FSC Mauritius as required. This includes audited financial statements, capital adequacy reports, and suspicious activity reports. Our operations are subject to FSC inspection at any time.
