More than 2,100 similar investment advisory companies go viral… Voices of strengthening regulations :: Sympathy Media Newsis News Agency ::

[서울=뉴시스]Reporter Woo Yeon-soo = It was found that the number of similar investment advisory companies, which are hotbeds of illegal investment advice such as stock reading rooms, has increased rapidly since Corona 19. Mr. Ra Deok-yeon, who is at the center of the stock price manipulation scandal, is also known to have gathered investors by repeatedly establishing and closing similar investment advisory companies and investment advisory companies.

According to Fine, a financial consumer information portal of the Financial Supervisory Service on the 15th, the number of similar investment advisory companies is currently counted as 2,139. At the end of 2019, after Corona, 147% surged in about 3 and a half years from 868 places.

Quasi-investment advisors can start their business simply by reporting, without requiring expertise or minimum capital. The quasi-investment advisory business refers to providing investment information to an unspecified number of people through publications, publications, and broadcasting. Investments that manage accounts and one-on-one investor advisory are prohibited.

With the issue raised that loose regulations on quasi-investment advisors have aggravated the stock price manipulation scandal, voices are raised that the financial authorities need to strengthen their supervisory responsibility. It is known that Mr. Ra Deok-yeon, who is at the center of this stock price manipulation incident, has been running several consulting companies since 2014, reporting similar investment advisory businesses and repeatedly closing them.
