VFSC: the lightest licence on a broker's badge wall.

Vanuatu Financial Services Commission · est. 1993

The Vanuatu Financial Services Commission licenses dealers in securities, and several brokers use a Vanuatu entity for clients outside tier-1 jurisdictions. Requirements have been tightened in recent years, but there is still no investor compensation scheme and little practical recourse for a client in Southeast Asia.
