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].

Course outline

As an Investor Relations practitioner, you know that your role impacts the value of shareholder capital. Fulfilling the role requires a clear understanding of financial statements, enabling you to interpret and translate them into a compelling narrative. Without understanding the numbers, you are not able to anticipate and respond to questions from analysts, investors, and the media. This half-day session, the first of a two-module course, assists those with only a rudimentary financial background to get to grips with the key elements of financial statements.

  • Foundation knowledge of a set of company accounts
  • An introduction to financial jargon enabling you to respond to investors
  • The ability to identify which numbers are important to communicate your company’s narrative
  • The most frequently used financial and stock market ratios
  • A basic ability to discuss results with key stakeholders

 

Who should attend?

  • IROs with no formal accountancy training
  • Those wanting to understand how financial analysts and investors look at companies
