Notice - Public Warning - Investment Opportunity Seminar Presentation in Bermuda on 14 July 2026 (2026-07-16)

Summary

This is a BMA public warning notice, not a rule or regulatory instrument. It alerts the public to an unregulated investment opportunity seminar held in Bermuda on 14 July 2026, promoted by a UK-based capital introduction business and its UK-based client, neither of which is licensed or registered in Bermuda or the UK.

• Targeting concern: The seminar's fact sheet was not specifically limited to high-net-worth or sophisticated investors.
• Missing disclaimer: The fact sheet lacked a clear disclaimer stating it was not an offer to invest or invitation to subscribe.
• High advertised returns: It advertised monthly payments (framed as returns or interest) at annual rates of 10 percent for $10,000, 12 percent for $20,000, 15 percent for $50,000, and 18 percent for $100,000 invested, with no accompanying risk disclosure.

The Authority reminds the public to check its register of licensed or registered investment business entities before investing, to review offering materials carefully, and to seek independent professional advice, since dealing with unregulated entities promising unusually high returns carries increased risk.

Applies to

members of the public, unregulated persons purporting to conduct investment business in Bermuda
