Before investing or paying for any investment advice, it is advisable to do background checks on any investment professional with whom you intend to do business with. Investors should check to see whether the entity they are about to deal with is licensed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SECZ). SECZ has regulatory jurisdiction over all capital market players who trade, deal, manage or market securities. Dealing with licensed capital market intermediaries is safer and enables investors to have access to regulatory protection.The licensing status of any entity is easy to get, one phone call or web search may save investors from sending money to a con artist, an unscrupulous financial professional, or a disreputable firm.
