The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority has cancelled the securities registration of 12 Peers Capital Markets, Ltd effective 9 August 2023.

Citing sections 17(2)(c) and (e) of the Securities Investment Business Act, the Authority determined that these contraventions demonstrate the company has not managed its business in a fit and proper manner.
