Warning against Vantage Equity International Ltd

Finanstilsynet (The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) warns against investment offers promoted by Vantage Equity International Ltd.

Finanstilsynet has been informed that Vantage Equity International Ltd (address: Via Vicenzo Montin. 8,Milan, Italy, 20123 and Level 37, Taipei 101 Tower, 7 Xinyi Road, Section 5, 110 Taipei, Taiwan) has approached Norwegian investors offering investment services. The company also offers services from a website www.vantageequity.com.

Finanstilsynet wishes to make it clear that Vantage Equity International Ltd 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 Vantage Equity International Ltd.

Finanstilsynet's registry (http://www.finanstilsynet.no/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 (http://www.finanstilsynet.no/markedsadvarsler/).
