If they're FCA or SEC authorised, they're in here.

Hackford combines FCA firm coverage with SEC-registered investment advisers (RIAs) and exempt reporting advisers (ERAs), making it easy to identify dual-regulated businesses.

The FCA and SEC have the data. But they aren't built for targeting.

You can't search for "firms like my best customers", spot dual-regulated businesses, or get alerts when relevant firms get authorised. That's what Hackford does.
