In 2000 the company was purchased by Natexis Banque Populaire and changed its name to Natexis Metals Limited. As the company diversified into energy, emissions, soft and agricultural commodities the name was changed to Natexis Commodity Markets Limited to reflect the wider activities being undertaken. The merger between Natexis and IXIS resulted in the company adopting the new name of the group to become Natixis Commodity Markets Limited in 2007. In July 2013, GF Futures (HK) Co. Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of GF Futures Co. Ltd and part of GF Securities, purchased 100% of the share capital held by Natixis SA and the company became GF Financial Markets (UK) Limited. Since then, GFFM has further extended its product range to offer execution and clearing for non-commodity derivatives. GFFM is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
