Norway, 12/08/2010
Finanstilsynet has been informed that First Financial Management (address: unknown) has approached Norwegian investors offering investment services. The company also offers services from a website www.firstfinancialmgmt.com.
The firm must not be confused with First Financial Management (N.I) Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the UK.
Finanstilsynet wishes to make it clear that First Financial Management is not authorised to provide investment services in Norway, and therefore lacks the licence required under Norwegian law. The company is consequently not subject to Finanstilsynet’s supervisory oversight, nor has Finanstilsynet approved the services offered by the company. Finanstilsynet therefore recommends investors not to enter into agreements with or transfer assets to First Financial Management.
Finanstilsynet's registry gives details of all companies authorised to offer investment services in Norway. A list (not complete) of companies operating in the market without a licence can be found on Finanstilsynet's website.
