The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have cautioned the public against some 17 unlicensed investment firms after they embarked on joint investigations into the activities of some entities, which they said are “largely operating via online channels” without license.

The regulator, SEC, in a statement, asked the public to “be vigilant and to desist from investing in all the listed unlicensed investment products”.

“In line with the above, the SEC and EOCO have embarked on joint investigations into the activities of some entities largely operating via online channels. In accordance with relevant provisions of Act 929 as amended and Act 804, the SEC and EOCO wish to inform the General Public that, the underlisted entities are not licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).”

SEC Assures Market Operators

SEC assured capital market operators, investors, and the public that SEC in collaboration with all relevant law enforcement agencies would ensure the rigorous enforcement of all the securities laws for operators in the market.

“The Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as (“SEC”) is the statutory body mandated by the Securities Industry Act 2016 (Act 929) as amended by the Securities Industry (Amendment) Act, 2021 (Act 1062), to promote the orderly growth and development of an efficient, fair, and transparent securities market in which investors and the integrity of the market are protected.

“An essential obligation of the SEC stipulated in Section 3(b) of Act 929 is to maintain surveillance over activities in securities to ensure orderly, fair, and equitable dealings in securities. The SEC is also mandated to protect investors by publishing at regular intervals information to the public to inform their investment decisions.”
