New Delhi: Capital markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday cautioned investors against placing money with unregistered entities promising assured or exceptionally high returns on investments.
While investing in the securities market, investors have been asked to conduct due diligence, verify the registration status of any entity claiming to be a Sebi-registered intermediary, and also verify enforcement action taken by the regulator against any entity.
“Investors should be cautious of any entity that promises assured or exceptionally high returns. The principle of ‘higher returns come with higher risks of losing your money altogether’ holds true in the securities market,” Sebi said in a statement.
It further said that investments offering high returns usually involve high risk, including fraud risk, and there can be no guarantees of assured returns in the securities market.
