Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, as amended (the "Financial Services Law")

The Jersey Financial Services Commission (the "Commission") issues this public statement under Article 25(d) of the Financial Services Law.

This statement is made in order to warn investors and others against dealing with unauthorised financial services providers. Equity Research Partners has not received authorisation to conduct financial services business within the meaning of the Financial Services Law.

The Commission has recently been made aware that Equity Research Partners is offering investment advice to Jersey residents through unsolicited telephone calls.

The Commission wishes the following to be known:

1. Equity Research Partners has never been registered, nor applied for registration, under the Financial Services Law. Therefore any financial services business, as defined in Article 2 of the Financial Services Law and carried out by Equity Research Partners since 1 July 1999, is in breach of Article 7 of the Financial Services Law; and

2. From documentation held by the Commission, it appears Equity Research Partners displays warning signs of being set up for a fraudulent purpose.

All regulated businesses in Jersey are listed on our website.

Any person who has had dealings with Equity Research Partners is requested to contact the Commission.
