27.09.2019 - Notice with regard to Neufund / Fifth Force (Liechtenstein) GmbH

In a media release dated 16 September 2019, Fifth Force (Liechtenstein) GmbH (Neufund) claims that the platform has received approval from the Financial Market Authority Liechtenstein (FMA) to carry out public offers with a minimum deposit of only CHF 10 and is thus accessible to various investors, including retail investors.

The FMA points out that the FMA has not granted the Fifth Force (Liechtenstein) GmbH, Vaduz, registration number FL-0002.609.744-9, (New Fund), such approval. The Fifth Force (Liechtenstein) GmbH does not have a supervisory license from the FMA and offers by Fifth Force (Liechtenstein) GmbH are therefore not subject to supervision by the FMA.

The Fifth Force (Liechtenstein) GmbH and its offers are not supervised. To date, the FMA has no knowledge that the Fifth Force (Liechtenstein) GmbH carries out activities requiring a license.

28.03.2019 - Warning

In the past, there have been several cases in which persons or companies offering FinTech products or services gave the impression that they had been granted a licence by the FMA even though they had received no such licence.

For this reason, the FMA once again would like to point out that all financial intermediaries licensed by the FMA are listed in a publicly accessible register. This also applies to securities prospectuses approved by the FMA.

The FMA also would like to point out the following:

  • The FMA does not express any judgements regarding business models, initial coin offerings, or security token offerings. Statements to that effect on websites and in the media are therefore incorrect.
  • The FMA does not issue any "non-action letters". This term does not exist in the Liechtenstein legal system.
  • When queried, the FMA comments only on existing licensing, prospectus, and due diligence obligations under the special laws referred to in Article 5(1) of the FMA Act. Beyond that, the FMA does not comment on the legal compliance of business models.

The FMA urgently advises not to make any investments via the website https://olzgroup(dot)com nor responding to any investment offers made by this company or against transferring money to any account number they might mention. Wrongful claiming the identity of an actually existing company is an attempt to obtain assets that may result in the investor's total loss of the supposed investment.
