Illegal Operator Alert – Silverkuun Investment Cooperative Society/Silverkuun Limited
The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an alert declaring Silverkuun Investment Cooperative Society/Silverkuun Limited unregistered to operate in the Nigerian Capital Market despite holding itself out as an investment adviser and fund manager. Investors are advised to refrain from engaging with the entity or its representatives and must verify its registration status on the Commission’s official portal before transacting. Transacting with unregistered entities exposes the public to heightened financial risks, including fraud and potential capital loss.
The attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the Commission”) has been drawn to the activities of Silverkuun Investment Cooperative Society/Silverkuun Limited which holds itself out as an Investment Adviser/Fund Manager. The Commission hereby informs the public that Silverkuun Investment Cooperative Society/Silverkuun Limited is NOT REGISTERED to operate in any capacity in the Nigerian Capital Market. Accordingly, the public is advised to refrain from engaging with Silverkuun Investment Cooperative Society/Silverkuun Limited or its representatives in respect of any business in the Nigerian capital market. The Commission uses this medium to reiterate that transacting in the Nigerian Capital Market with unregistered and unregulated entities exposes investors to financial risk including fraud and potential loss of investment. The investing public is therefore reminded to verify the status of companies and entities offering investment opportunities on the Commission’s dedicated portal – www.sec.gov.ng/cmos , before transacting with them.
