Be an informed investor - Don't be fooled by fraudsters misrepresenting themselves
JANUARY 5, 2023 (Toronto, Ontario) – New Self-Regulatory Organization of Canada (New SRO) is warning Canadian investors not to be fooled by ZtronFX Capital Inc.
On their website, www.ztronfx.com, the company falsely claims to be a member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) and the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF). ZtronFX Capital Inc is not regulated in Canada and is not a member of IIROC, the CIPF or New SRO.
Additionally, ZtronFX Capital In is not registered in Canada to sell forex or crypto assets, or any other investment products. All investors must be informed and ask themselves important questions before purchasing higher-risk investment products that do not trade on stock exchanges. Investors should know that unregulated crypto-asset trading platforms are different from regulated marketplaces and may be missing key investor protections.
Registered investment firms are regulated, and individuals must meet our high standards and deal fairly, honestly and in good faith with Canadian investors. We urge Canadian investors to exercise caution when dealing with non-registered firms.
Investors should confirm investment firms are registered with New SRO, formerly IIROC, or with the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA).
Investors can also check the background, qualifications and any disciplinary history of investment advisors registered with New SRO by checking the free Advisor Report for investment dealers, or the CSA’s National Registration Search for mutual fund dealers.
