AF Investment Partners Limited -
Waarschuwing FSC Gibraltar - 2012-Sep-18
The Financial Services Commission has today issued a warning to the public regarding AF Investment Partners Limited.
The FSC has reviewed statements on AF Investment Partners Limited's website, which allude to various investments and funds related services offered by this company, which has not been incorporated in Gibraltar.
The FSC is concerned at the company's website providing a Gibraltar office address as the only address on its 'Contact Us' page, yet not providing Gibraltar telephone contact numbers, with only a Spanish mobile number listed.
The address from which it purports to operate is part of several suites at an office building in Gibraltar, at which several FSC regulated entities are based.
Correspondence delivered to this address has not been replied to, neither have emails sent to AF Investment Partners Limited's stated email address or a further email used to register its website domain been answered.
AF Investment Partners Limited is not associated with any of the FSC regulated entities operating at these premises.
As a foreign company doing business in Gibraltar or from Gibraltar, AF Investment Partners Limited is required to register under Part X of the Companies Act, in a manner prescribed in the following circular issued by Companies House http://www.companieshouse.gi/publications/C0009.pdf, yet its name does not appear on the Register of Companies maintained by Companies House.
The FSC therefore urges the public to exercise appropriate caution in respect of this company, whilst it continues its investigations.
People are able to verify whether a firm is licensed by the FSC in Gibraltar, by checking the "Regulated Entities" section on our website at http://www.fsc.gi/fsclists/categorysearch.asp.
Any persons who are already involved in any dealings with the above entity and have concerns, should contact the Manager, Enforcement on +350 200 40283 or by e-mail to enforcement@fsc.gi
