Recently, the Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau issued a document saying that it has received many complaints and reports of criminals using the name of private equity fund managers to defraud investors. Some investors' funds were damaged, the market order was disturbed, and the industry image was damaged.

  The Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau pointed out that illegal institutions or personnel fraudulently used the name of private equity fund managers or senior private equity securities investment fund managers to defraud investors and attract investors to join QQ, WeChat and other communication software group chats.

  Or inducing investors to transfer funds and defrauding investors on the grounds of collecting guidance fees for purchasing private securities investment fund products, providing stock recommendation services, etc.

  Or trick investors into downloading and registering a fake trading APP or opening a fake overseas securities company account, requiring investors to transfer funds for "trading", but when investors apply for withdrawal of personal funds, they must first pay the relevant margin, and investors will cooperate with the payment. It was later discovered that the account had been deleted and was forcibly removed from the group chat.

  "The above behavior not only violates national laws and regulations, but also has a serious impact on the reputation of the impersonated private equity institutions and fund managers, but also seriously disrupts the order of the private equity fund industry and damages the industry's image." Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau reminded investors to strengthen prevention. Consciousness, follow three methods to safeguard your own rights and interests.

  One is to comply with the requirements of qualified investors.

According to the provisions of the "Interim Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Private Equity Funds", the amount of private equity fund qualified investors to invest in a single private equity fund shall not be less than 1 million yuan, and shall meet the requirements of corresponding risk identification ability and risk bearing ability.

Any private equity fund investment behavior that “sells orders” or “collects orders”, does not need to go through the qualified investor evaluation process, and is less than the investment threshold of 1 million yuan is a violation of laws and regulations, and you should be vigilant and beware of being deceived.

  The second is to enhance the awareness of personal risk prevention.

Investors should consciously resist the temptation of gimmicks such as "high-yield without risk", "get rich quick" and "steady profit without loss", keep a cool head, and avoid impulse investment due to the temptation of high yield.

Do not trust Internet information or phone calls from strangers, and do not transfer funds directly to personal bank accounts, bank accounts of unknown institutions, or unknown software.

  The third is to prudently verify the information of private equity institutions.

Before investing in private equity funds, investors can inquire about the basic information of private equity fund managers and their registered private equity fund products by logging on to the "Private Fund Manager Public Information" column on the official website of the Asset Management Association of China; The fund manager shall contact to confirm the authenticity of the product sales and protect its legitimate rights and interests from being infringed.

  Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau reminds that if investors encounter fraud or discover criminal clues such as suspected fraud or illegal fund-raising, please collect and preserve evidence, and immediately report the case to the public security organ.

In addition, each private investment fund manager should attach great importance to the maintenance of brand and reputation, and actively pay attention to the public opinion related to its own brand and reputation.

If criminals are found to be using or misappropriating their own name, they can make announcements and statements through the company's official website, official account and other platforms, collect and save relevant evidence in a timely manner, and protect their legitimate rights and interests through legal channels.
