新西兰金融市场管理局(FMA)对Finbase(原HP资本有限公司)发出公开警告,警告其严重违反有关其单一投资金融产品的披露和公平交易规则。
New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority (FMA) issued a public warning to Finbase, formerly HP Capital Limited, over serious breaches of disclosure and fair dealing rules related to its Single Investment financial products.
金融管理局发现,该公司错误地适用了不适用的监管规定,没有适当披露产品只供批发投资者使用,并使用误导性广告,如谷歌广告提及 " 定期存款 " 和 " 低风险 " ,表明风险低于实际风险。
The FMA found the firm incorrectly applied regulatory exclusions, failed to properly disclose that products were only for wholesale investors, and used misleading advertising—such as Google Ads referencing “term deposit” and “low risk”—to suggest lower risk than actual.
这些行动源于错误的法律咨询意见,尽管没有造成投资者损失,却误导了公众。
These actions, stemming from flawed legal advice, misled the public despite no investor losses.
Finbase承认了这些问题,与FMA合作,并实施了纠正措施,包括审查其法律顾问。
Finbase acknowledged the issues, cooperated with the FMA, and implemented corrective measures, including reviewing its legal advisors.
金融管理局决定不施加进一步的惩罚,强调在金融市场上准确披露和公平广告的重要性。
The FMA chose not to impose further penalties, emphasizing the importance of accurate disclosures and fair advertising in financial markets.
