Safety First
About our security and the protection of your funds
Clients investing with Hugo have their investments safe and secure in a Saxo Bank account. Saxo Bank is a Danish Bank, under the protection of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) and a member of the Danish Guarantee Fund. Denmark holds a triple-A rating from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and DBRS. Additionally, Trading Economics rates Denmark’s creditworthiness highly, with a score close to 100, indicating very low risk. Click here to learn more about the credit rating.
If a Danish bank (including Saxo Bank) should suspend its payments or go bankrupt, client deposits are guaranteed by the Fund with up to EUR 100,000 for cash deposits. Cash deposits are calculated as the net free deposit after deducting any debt to the bank. For further information on the Guarantee Fund and the coverage as well as an updated list of the Guarantee Fund Members, click here.
As a general rule, securities will not be affected by the suspension of payment or compulsory winding-up and will be returned to the client. If a Danish bank (including Saxo Bank) cannot return securities held in safe custody, administered, or managed, the Guarantee Fund will cover up to EUR 20,000 per client.
Saxo Bank is not publicly traded, has a banking license, and does not offer mortgages or loans. Combining Saxo Bank with unlimited support from Hugo is a safe and secure choice.
