Two investment products being promoted by News GH and Ghana News are not licensed and operating outside Ghana’s regulatory framework, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has cautioned.
These two entities, according to SEC, have been promoting these unlicenced investment platforms on social media.
SEC, in a Tuesday, July 1, 2025 statement disclosed that News GH is promoting a scheme called the “Gold AI Rise Platform,” while Ghana News is advertising an unnamed product that promises unrealistically high returns at no risk.
Under Section 3 of the Securities Industry Act, 2016 (Act 929), the Commission, revealed that neither News GH nor Ghana News is licensed to engage in capital market activities as the amended provision of the Act demands.
The SEC further disclosed that it is working with security agencies to fish out the persons behind the two schemes to face the law, a move which is part of the SEC’s investor protection mandate.
It further advised the public to be vigilant and verify the authenticity of any investment offer at the SEC’s official website before having any engagements with them.
The advisory was issued pursuant to Sections 3 and 208(c) of the Securities Industry Act, reinforcing the SEC’s commitment to protecting investors from fraudulent and unregulated market operators.
