The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) is warning the public to exercise caution when conducting financial services business with persons claiming to be associated with JSE Private Placements (Pty) Ltd (JSE Private) (FSP number 51709).
It has come to the FSCA’s attention that an entity known as AI JSE Pro is using the FSP number of JSE Private to promote investments. The FSP number of JSE Private is reflected in AI JSE Pro’s communications with members of the public, from whom investments are solicited. JSE Private has confirmed that it is not associated with AI JSE Pro.
While the FSCA does not comment on the specifics of AI JSE Pro’s business, it must be noted that AI JSE Pro is not authorised by the FSCA to provide financial services to members of the public. Despite efforts to make contact, the FSCA was unable to reach AI JSE Pro for comment.
The FSCA reminds the public that anyone offering financial products or services in South Africa must be authorised in terms of the applicable financial sector legislation. These impersonators are not licensed or authorised to provide any financial services or products in the country

Gateway to Sub-Saharan Africa – Not only is South Africa itself an important emerging economy, it is also the gateway to Sub-Saharan markets, where its well-developed infrastructure allows for transportation into Africa. The country is a regional leader and a member of the BRICS collaboration. South Africa is a good place to establish a business in the region, and many companies expand their business activities from South Africa to the rest of the region.
