FMA warning notices and alerts

The FMA uses warnings and alerts to respond quickly when we think investors may be at risk. FMA warnings are designed to alert investors, censure the business or individual concerned, and help others to understand the standards of behaviour we expect.

If you are concerned about a business/individual you are dealing with (particularly if you are having difficulty accessing funds, or if you suspect they are not legitimate) please contact the FMA.
