Beware of "JSE Investment" scams

The JSE Limited/ Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) is aware of a several scams (on Telegram and WhatsApp) posing as authorised JSE investment schemes and/or using the names(s) of JSE Executives (including our CEO, Leila Fourie).

In these investment scams, potential investors are urged to deposit money into a bank account and promised quick and guaranteed returns on their investment. These types of groups are not authorised by the JSE and the investments referred to are not authorised or endorsed by the JSE or any members of the JSE Executive. The JSE does not recruit investors in this manner.

The only way to invest on the JSE is via an authorised JSE stockbroker. A list of stockbrokers can be found on www.jse.co.za and then click on 'find a stockbroker' and you will find a list of stockbrokers in your area who will help you to open an account and you can begin your investment journey with the JSE.

Should you suspect a false investment scam group, please report these to the JSE at [email protected].

Course outline

As an Investor Relations practitioner, you know that your role impacts the value of shareholder capital. Your ability to discuss the relationship of company numbers and business strategy enables you to talk to investors about performance and prospects. Not simply reciting numbers, you should be able to interpret the financial statements, translate them into a compelling narrative, and anticipate and respond to questions from analysts, investors and the media. To do this effectively, IR practitioners should have the financial understanding to form the bridge between the company and the investor and analyst. This session builds the skills you need to do so.
