Most Popular Questions

They are the same business. cf.com is the group's current website, and the older chathamfinancial.com address redirects to it. Both carry the same corporate identity, legal notices and terms.

Through the enquiry form at cf.com/contact. A head office telephone number and a general enquiries email address are also published, and the head office is at 235 Whitehorse Ln, Kennett Square, PA 19348, United States. There is no live chat.

It does not hold retail client funds, so segregation and compensation schemes do not arise in the way they would at a broker. Its US broker-dealer entity, Chatham Financial Securities LLC, states membership of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which covers securities customers of that entity rather than any retail trading balance.

Nothing found in this research supports that. The parent company is verifiable on an official government register under its own name, has existed since 1991, publishes a real head office address matching that record, and discloses its regulated subsidiaries and their licence numbers openly. The honest caution is different: it is not a broker, so anyone who was directed here expecting a trading account has been sent to the wrong kind of firm.

It depends on your region, and it matters because the regulator differs with the entity. UK clients deal with Chatham Financial Europe, Ltd under the FCA, EEA clients with Chatham Financial Europe B.V. under the Dutch AFM, Asia-Pacific clients with Chatham Financial Pte. Ltd. in Singapore, Australian and New Zealand clients with Chatham Financial Pty Ltd under ASIC, and US clients with Chatham Hedging Advisors, LLC or Chatham Financial Securities LLC.

The firm publishes no blocked-country list and no acceptance list. Its terms state the website and its content are accessible worldwide while placing the responsibility on the visitor to check local restrictions, and its content is addressed to investment professionals and professional clients. Service coverage is organised by entity: the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Asia-Pacific, and Australia and New Zealand.

It publishes no trading account tiers. Client relationships are advisory engagements with the relevant group entity for the client's region rather than standardised account types with spreads and commissions.

The question does not apply. The firm holds no retail client balances, so it publishes no deposit or withdrawal channels, no processing times and no payment fee schedule.

It offers no retail trading terminal. Its two client-facing systems are ChathamDirect, a treasury and hedge management platform for corporate clients, and ONYX, a market data service for historical rates and forward curves. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader are not available.

None. No leveraged or margin trading product is offered, so no maximum leverage figure exists for this firm.

There is none, because the firm does not take deposits. It has no retail account funding, so no minimum deposit, account currency or funding threshold is published anywhere on its site.

Chatham Financial Corp. was incorporated on 26 August 1991, which gives the group more than three decades of continuous corporate existence. The record remains in active status.

The group's companies are owned by Chatham Financial Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation registered under number 2046472 with the Pennsylvania Department of State. The parent reports no corporate parent of its own, with ownership recorded as sitting with natural persons.

No. It is an institutional risk advisory and treasury technology firm. It advises companies on interest rate, foreign currency and commodity hedging and provides hedge accounting, valuation and debt advisory work. It does not open retail trading accounts, does not offer leverage, and does not take retail client deposits.

Its operating companies hold financial authorisations, but none of them is a retail forex licence. The firm's own Legal Notices page names a CFTC-licensed commodity trading advisor and NFA member (Chatham Hedging Advisors, LLC, NFA ID 0429008), an FCA-authorised investment adviser (Chatham Financial Europe, Ltd, reference 197251), a Dutch AFM authorisation (Chatham Financial Europe B.V., 14006371), a Japanese registration (Chatham Financial Pte. Ltd., Kanto Financial Bureau #2781), an Australian Financial Services Licence (Chatham Financial Pty Ltd, No. 450968) and an SEC-registered, FINRA-member broker-dealer (Chatham Financial Securities LLC). These are advisory and securities permissions, and they were not independently confirmed against each authority's register during this research.

Licence 0429008 was issued by National Futures Association (NFA), the financial authority for United States.
Chatham Financial holds this NFA licence. A licence on record means the authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement.
We located this entry on the NFA register. Note that confirming a register ENTRY is not the same as confirming a live licence — the register’s own wording on this page is what states its current standing.
The NFA register prints it under CHATHAM HEDGING ADVISORS LLC, not Chatham Financial. Licences are often held by a subsidiary rather than the trading brand, which is why searching a register for the brand alone can return nothing.
Wikilix rates NFA tier 1 — the strictest band, with high capital requirements, segregated client money and a compensation scheme.
This page links straight to the NFA register. Search it for 0429008, and for the name CHATHAM HEDGING ADVISORS LLC rather than the trading brand.
