21st July 2022 | Singapore

Singapore central bank MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) has fined an individual (Lee Ying Hui) S$20,000 for carrying fund management activities without a capital markets services licence, trading $127,500 for 6 investors on leveraged foreign exchange & futures contract and receiving $29,755 in shared profits before incurring S$77,800 of losses thereafter.  Singapore MAS: “Ms Lee pleaded guilty to the charge under section 82 of the Securities and Futures Act (SFA). Between December 2017 and June 2022, Ms Lee made arrangements with six investors to trade on their behalf in their personal trading accounts. The trades conducted by Ms Lee were in leveraged foreign exchange and futures contracts. The total investment amount was $127,500. Ms Lee and the investors agreed to share the profits generated from the trades equally, with losses borne by the investors. By June 2020, Ms Lee had received a total of $29,755 profits from three investors, before incurring aggregate losses of about $77,800 in the six investors’ accounts.” MAS Loo Siew Yee, Assistant Managing Director (Policy, Payments and Financial Crime): “MAS takes a serious view of persons carrying on regulated activities without appropriate licences. To safeguard investors’ interests, MAS’ regulatory framework permits only competent and professional persons to provide financial services. Members of the public are strongly advised not to deal with unregulated persons, and should check the Financial Institutions Directory, Register of Representatives and Investor Alert List on the MAS’ website before committing to financial transactions.”
