Warning against Okamura Asset Management


"The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) is warning consumers not to accept any offers for investment services made by Okamura Asset Management. The AFM believes that Okamura Asset Management is offering investment services in the Netherlands without a licence or exemption. In addition, the AFM has received complaints from consumers who have been approached by Okamura Asset Management. Offering and providing investment services in the Netherlands without a licence or an exemption constitutes a violation of Article 2:96 of the Act on Financial Supervision.

Okamura Asset Management uses among others the following address for its investment services operations: address: Shinjuku Park Tower 30th Floor, Nishi-Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 163-1030. Fax number +81-344966417. E-mail: admin@okamuraan.com and investment@okamuraan.com.

The AFM advises investors wanting to do business with an institution or person to first check the relevant register on the AFM website to see whether the institution or person in question is registered and authorised to offer or provide investment services in the Netherlands. The AFM also urges investors to consult the warning lists in advance.

The three AFM warning lists are available online at www.afm.nl/waarschuwingslijsten
(1) institutions and individuals without the licence required by law, (2) institutions which do not issue a prospectus along with the offering of their securities as required by law, and (3) institutions against which foreign supervisory authorities have issued warnings. Investors who have any queries or complaints should contact the Financial Markets Information Line on 0900 5400 540 (0.05 euro per call)."
