The FSC warns the public for unlicensed participants on the capital market

The Financial Supervision Commission (FSC) warns potential investors for companies, which are not entitled to conduct activity as investment intermediaries or management companies on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria. The FSC regularly conducts inspections of companies for which there are suspicions and information for conduct of investment activities and provision of investment services without the necessary license, as well as inspections of the natural and legal persons related to them. The on-site inspections of the unlicensed participants on the capital market are realized jointly by inspection teams of the FSC, Chief Directorate “National Police” to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and State Agency “National Security” (SANS). In order to protect the rights of customers of financial services and to prevent frauds when investing in financial instruments, the financial regulator actively cooperates with the supervisory authorities of other countries.

A List of the companies, which are not licensed by the FSC is maintained and regularly updated on the website of the FSC and is available on the following internet address:
