The State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) has recently issued a warning regarding investment cooperation activities conducted via online platforms (such as Tikop, Buff, Topi, etc.). While these activities are attracting significant interest from individual investors, they also entail considerable risks.

KEY RISKS INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF

According to the SSC, certain enterprises are implementing capital mobilization models as follows:

• • Using applications or websites to approach and engage investors
  • Entering into “investment cooperation” agreements to raise capital
  • Subsequently entrusting fund management companies to invest in financial products

This model presents several critical risks:

• • It falls outside the scope of regulation and licensing by the SSC
  • It exposes investors to legal risks in the event of disputes

As a result, investors may face potential losses without the protection of securities laws, as their legal rights and interests may not be safeguarded in such arrangements.

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM JSI FOR INVESTORS

To mitigate risks and protect assets, Japan Securities Co., Ltd. (JSI) recommends that investors:

• • Exercise caution when approached with investment opportunities via applications, websites, or social media platforms
  • Thoroughly review the legal framework, licenses, and operational scope of service providers
  • Conduct transactions only through entities duly licensed and regulated by competent authorities
  • Refrain from transferring funds or signing agreements without full verification of information
