About a month ago, the FMA updated its warning list to include China Advisers, a company that offers retail and institutional financial services. The broker’s trading environment consists of bonds, stocks, commodities, among other assets. Despite China Advisers’ claims, it has not been authorized to operate in New Zealand. The regulator further expressed its concern that this financial entity might be running a scam operation following a troubling report. The report stated that the company continues to solicit clients, though it is incapable of returning their money as promised.

In May, the FMA added Corner Oaks Group to its blacklist following several complaints from traders. This broker also offers trading in stocks, commodities, and bonds, among other assets. The FMA advised against trading and funding accounts at this brokerage.
