Why SEC Warned Investors Not To Invest In Risevest Cooperative, Stecs Multipurpose Cooperative

The reason behind the call by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to members of the public not to put their money into any investment-related transactions with Risevest Cooperative Multipurpose Society Limited and Stecs Multipurpose Cooperative Society, commonly known as Stecs has been revealed.
www.theoctopusnews.com report that the warning by SEC is to protect members of the public from losing their investment, as neither entities are registered or authorized to operate in the capital market.
The Commission stated this in a circular issued at the weekend in Abuja, adding this, “The attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been drawn to the activities of Risevest (Victoria Island) Cooperative Multipurpose Society Limited, which is engaging in capital market activities by inviting the public to invest in its various investment schemes.
“Similarly, our attention has been drawn to Stecs (Alausa) Multipurpose Cooperative Society (popularly known as Stecs), which is engaging in capital market activities by inviting the public to invest in its Stecs Commodity Mudarabah Investment Series I.
“The Commission hereby notifies the public that Risevest (Victoria Island) Cooperative Multipurpose Society Limited and Stecs (Alausa) Multipurpose Cooperative Society are not registered to operate in any capacity in the Nigerian capital market. Similarly, the investment schemes promoted by them have not been authorized by the Commission.
“Accordingly, the SEC advised the public to refrain from engaging with Risevest (Victoria Island) Cooperative Multipurpose Society Limited and Stecs (Alausa) Multipurpose Cooperative Society in respect of any business pertaining or relating to the Nigerian capital market”.
The Commission emphasized that transacting in the Nigerian capital market with unregistered and unregulated entities exposes investors to the risk of fraud and potential loss of investment.
“The SEC remains committed to the protection of investors in the Nigerian capital market and is working diligently to combat the activities of illegal/unregistered entities, the Commission added.
