UK’s FCA warns of clone firm Tilney Asset Management

UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has been active in warning about clone firms, that is, about unauthorized businesses using details of authorized companies in order to lure investors more easily.

One more such warning is out today and it concerns a company, which has already attracted the attention of regulators in New Zealand. Just a couple of days ago, New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority (FMA) included Tilney Asset Management in its list of unregistered businesses. Today, the FCA says Tilney Asset Management is a clone of two authorized UK companies: Bestinvest (Brokers) Limited and Tilney Investment Management.

To distinguish more easily among the clone and the authorized firms, check out the information below:
