Beware of "JSE Investment" scams

The JSE Limited/ Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) is aware of a several scams (on Telegram and WhatsApp) posing as authorised JSE investment schemes and/or using the names(s) of JSE Executives (including our CEO, Leila Fourie).

In these investment scams, potential investors are urged to deposit money into a bank account and promised quick and guaranteed returns on their investment. These types of groups are not authorised by the JSE and the investments referred to are not authorised or endorsed by the JSE or any members of the JSE Executive. The JSE does not recruit investors in this manner.

The only way to invest on the JSE is via an authorised JSE stockbroker. A list of stockbrokers can be found on www.jse.co.za and then click on 'find a stockbroker' and you will find a list of stockbrokers in your area who will help you to open an account and you can begin your investment journey with the JSE.

Should you suspect a false investment scam group, please report these to the JSE at [email protected].

Between April 2019 and June 2021, South Africa underwent a mutual evaluation of its anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism controls, which culminated in the publication of the Mutual Evaluation Report (“MER”) by the FATF.

In an effort to address the deficiencies identified in the MER, several laws, including the Trust Property Control Act1 (“TPCA”), were amended through the introduction of the General Laws Amendment Act (the “Amendment Act”)

The objective of this course is to inform Trustees, HR Practitioners, Accountants, Legal and other personnel responsible for the setting up and managing Trusts. The Master of the High Court has placed an obligation on trustees to disclose the Trust’s beneficial register and ensure it is kept up to date. The course looks at the requirements and responsibilities including the associated penalties and fines for non-compliance. The course allows for participative interaction and delegates will be encouraged to share their experiences, as there are still some grey areas for some type of Trusts such as community Trusts.

What we will cover:

  • Ensuring compliance with the Amendment Act
  • Look at the beneficial information required by the Master of the High Court
  • Break down the Act for clear understanding of the changes
    secretary 
  • Penalties
  • Navigating the Master’s online portal
