GGC Securities Ltd Strategic Report |
The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025. | |||||||
Review of business | |||||||
GGC Securities LTD (the "Company") is a UK-based entity registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under firm reference number 728645. The Company specialises in the arrangement and distribution of fully customisable third-party instruments, with a primary focus on structured financial products. | |||||||
A significant milestone was achieved in July 2025, when the Company received formal permission from the FCA to execute trades on a matched principal basis. This regulatory upgrade has allowed the Company to significantly expand its service offering and market reach. | |||||||
The Company is a 100% owned subsidiary of Dorot Capital LTD. Within the wider group, the Company operates alongside Gold Grain Capital BV (GGC BV), which is registered with the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Notably, the group’s other UK entity, Gold Grain Capital Ltd (GGC UK), was deregistered with the FCA effective 11 April 2025. Subsequent to that, all of the trading activity was transferred into the Company which explains the significant jump in revenues compared to 2024. | |||||||
Financial performance | |||||||
The results for the year and the financial position of the Company are as shown in the annexed financial statements. | |||||||
Key financial performance indicators: | Unit | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
1 | Revenue | £ | 25,677,012 | 9,041,907 | |||
2 | Operating profit | £ | 2,739,549 | 1,516,304 | |||
3 | Profit after tax | £ | 2,046,539 | 1,150,697 | |||
4 | Net assets | £ | 3,973,748 | 1,672,209 | |||
The appeal of the Company’s structured financial products remains sensitive to market conditions, performing most strongly during periods of market volatility and change. | |||||||
Principal risks and uncertainties | |||||||
1 | Macro-economic environment: The Company operates in a competitive market responsive to external forces. Revenues remain sensitive to global macroeconomic conditions. Prolonged inflationary pressures, fluctuating interest rates, and ongoing geopolitical tensions may negatively affect investor sentiment and liquidity. A downturn in equity or credit markets can materially impact distribution volumes. | ||||||
2 | Regulatory and Compliance Risk: As an FCA-authorized firm, the Company is subject to stringent regulations regarding conduct, prudential requirements, and reporting. Following the receipt of matched principal permissions, the Company has enhanced its compliance programs and internal monitoring to ensure adherence to the specific rules governing these activities. To mitigate these risks, the Company maintains a robust compliance framework and provides ongoing staff training. | ||||||
Future developments and strategy going forward | |||||||
Following the successful receipt of permission from the FCA in July 2025 to execute trades on a matched principal basis, the strategic focus for the upcoming financial year is the comprehensive onboarding of counterparties to fully operationalize this new capability. This expansion will significantly broaden the service offering, allowing the firm to provide more integrated and efficient execution services to its clients. | |||||||
The company is also making substantial investments in its IT infrastructure. Key initiatives include: | |||||||
• Lifecycle Management Reporting: Implementing advanced systems to provide end-to-end transparency and detailed reporting throughout the lifecycle of every instrument we distribute. | |||||||
• Automated Pricing: Deploying automated pricing tools to improve response times, ensure market-leading accuracy, and enhance our overall competitiveness in the structured products market. | |||||||
Section 172(1) statement | |||||||
The directors are required to act in accordance with Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006 to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing so, the directors have regard (amongst other matters) to: | |||||||
(a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term, | |||||||

(d) the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment, | |||||||

The board regularly discusses issues concerning employees, customers, suppliers, community and environment, regulators and its shareholders, which it considers in its discussions and in its decision-making process. In addition to this, the board seeks to understand the interests and views of the Company's stakeholders by engaging with them directly when required. The following page summarises the key stakeholders and how the Company engages with each. | |||||||
Stakeholders engagement | |||||||
Employees | |||||||
Our employees contribute to a positive working culture and safe working environment. Employees are key to the success of our business. In addition to aiming to be a responsible employer in our approach to pay and benefits, we continue to engage with our team to ascertain which training and development opportunities should be made available to improve our team's productivity and our individual employees' potential within the business. | |||||||

We are in regular contact with customers in order to meet their defined service and reporting requirements. We take a consultative approach with customers focused on building long-term relationships. | |||||||

Statement of directors' responsibilities | |||||||||
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. | |||||||||
Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. | |||||||||
In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to: | |||||||||
* | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; | ||||||||
* | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; | ||||||||
* | state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statments; and | ||||||||
* | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. | ||||||||
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. | |||||||||

GGC Securities Ltd Audit Report Unqualified |
Independent Auditor's Report to the members of GGC Securities Ltd | |||||||||
Opinion | |||||||||
We have audited the financial statements of GGC Securities Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Financial Statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). | |||||||||
In our opinion the financial statements: | |||||||||
for the year then ended; • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. | |||||||||
Basis for opinion | |||||||||
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. | |||||||||
Conclusions relating to going concern | |||||||||
In auditing the accounts, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts is appropriate. | |||||||||
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the accounts are authorised for issue. | |||||||||
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. | |||||||||
Other information | |||||||||
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. | |||||||||
We have nothing to report in this regard. | |||||||||
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 | |||||||||
In our opinion, based upon the work undertaken in the course of the audit: | |||||||||
• the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and • the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. | |||||||||
Matters on which we are required to report by exception | |||||||||
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report. | |||||||||
• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or | |||||||||
• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or | |||||||||
• certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or | |||||||||
• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. | |||||||||
Responsibilities of directors | |||||||||
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. | |||||||||
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements | |||||||||
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. | |||||||||
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: | |||||||||
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism through the audit. We also: | |||||||||
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement, resulting from fraud is higher than for on resulting for error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. | |||||||||
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. | |||||||||
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. | |||||||||
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. | |||||||||
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. | |||||||||
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. | |||||||||
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. We have used professional scepticism throughout the audit and no evidence of fraud was found. | |||||||||
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of the auditors report. | |||||||||
Use of this report | |||||||||
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. | |||||||||

GGC Securities Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 December 2025 | ||||||||||||||||
1 | General information | |||||||||||||||
GGC Securities Ltd is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. | ||||||||||||||||
The company's registered number is: 09088764 | ||||||||||||||||
The address of the company's registered office is: | ||||||||||||||||
The functional and presentational currency of the company is Sterling. The accounts are rounded to the nearest pound. | ||||||||||||||||
1 | ||||||||||||||||
2 | Accounting policies | |||||||||||||||
Turnover | ||||||||||||||||
Revenue represents income earned from the provision of financial intermediary services, including the arrangement and distribution of structured financial products and the execution of transactions on a matched principal basis. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount can be measured reliably. Revenue is recognised at the point in time when the Company has fulfilled its performance obligations, typically on execution of the underlying transaction. Where services are provided over a period, including ongoing support or lifecycle-related services, revenue is recognised over time by reference to the stage of completion or on a straight-line basis where appropriate. Revenue is stated net of value added tax. | ||||||||||||||||
Taxation | ||||||||||||||||
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
Significant judgements and estimates | ||||||||||||||||
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements , estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful life and residual values of the assets. These are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. | ||||||||||||||||
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation | ||||||||||||||||
and accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether there is any indication that any items of property, plant and equipment have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. | ||||||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements | 20% Reducing balance | |||||||||||||||
Office equipment | 25% Reducing balance | |||||||||||||||
Furniture, fittings and equipment | ||||||||||||||||
Trade and other debtors | ||||||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | ||||||||||||||||
In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management. | ||||||||||||||||
Financial instruments | ||||||||||||||||
Trade and other creditors | ||||||||||||||||
Accruals and deferred income | ||||||||||||||||
Deferred income represents consideration received in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligations, including amounts received in respect of transactions not yet executed or services to be provided in future periods. These amounts are recognised as revenue in the period in which the related services are performed. | ||||||||||||||||
Finance costs | ||||||||||||||||
Related parties | ||||||||||||||||
For the purposes of these financial statements, a party is considered to be related to the Company if: • the party has the ability, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the company in making financial and operating policy decisions, or has joint control over the Company; • the Company and the party are subject to common control; • the party is an associate of the Company or a joint venture in which the Company is a venturer; • the party is a member of key management personnel of the Company or the Company’s parent, or a close family member of such an individual, or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; • the party is a close family member of a party referred to in (i) or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; or • the party is a post-employment benefit plan which is for the benefit of employees of the Company or of any entity that is a related party of the Company. Close family members of an individual are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity. | ||||||||||||||||
Foreign currencies | ||||||||||||||||
Going concern | ||||||||||||||||
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The director, having considered the financial position of the company for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements, has no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. Accordingly the director has a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence and therefore he continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting to prepare the financial statements. | ||||||||||||||||
Defined contribution pensions | ||||||||||||||||
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. | ||||||||||||||||
The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. | ||||||||||||||||
Provisions | ||||||||||||||||
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Income Statement in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of Financial Position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of Financial position. | ||||||||||||||||
