Investment offers can come from anywhere in the world. The law in Nova Scotia requires that:
- 1. Individuals and entities that appear to be in the business of offering/selling securities or derivatives to Nova Scotians must be registered with the Commission, unless an exemption applies.
- 2. Investment products that are offered or sold to Nova Scotians must be offered or sold as part of a prospectus offering, unless an exemption applies.
Investor Cautions are warnings to potential investors that the individuals or entities named do not appear to be registered to engage in the business of offering securities or derivatives in Nova Scotia or that the investment products do not appear to be offered in a manner permitted by Nova Scotia securities laws. The Commission urges investors to use extreme caution when dealing with unregistered individuals or entities as they could be running a scam or fraud. This list is non-exhaustive and investors should still conduct their own research on the investment opportunity before investing.
