The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) has announced a list of warnings from international supervisors regarding unregistered entities. The warning was published on the CNMV's official website on February 12, 2025.
According to the CNMV, a list of unregistered entities flagged by international financial regulators includes CONSOB (Italy), CBI (Ireland), CSSF (Luxembourg), and AFM (Netherlands). Entities such as Fusionlots, TUXAI, IFM24, and Spiral Capitals have been identified for offering unauthorized investment services. Some, like Conlon Finance Group and Partners Global Equity Group, have been flagged for impersonating legitimate firms.
The CNMV issues warnings to protect investors from unauthorized entities that provide investment services or engage in financial activities without proper registration or authorization. These entities often operate outside regulatory oversight, increasing the risk of capital loss for investors. To avoid confusion, some unauthorized firms falsely use CNMV's name to present themselves as legitimate, leading to a misleading sense of security. The CNMV also collaborates with foreign regulators to share warnings about such entities, aiming to inform investors and reduce risks. It offers a search engine for investors to verify whether an entity is authorized.
