Thank you for your enquiry.
According to our record, Galaxy Brokers Ltd has never been licensed by the Commission.
The Investor Compensation Fund, administered by the Investor Compensation Company Limited, is a single fund that covers defaults of licensed intermediaries and authorized financial institutions which are licensed or registered for dealing in securities or futures contracts or providing securities margin financing. As Galaxy Brokers Ltd is not a licensed intermediary, it follows that any of its defaults would not be covered by the fund.
