The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released a public warning regarding an unauthorized entity operating under the name Novatrust-asset. According to the regulator, this firm is carrying out or promoting financial services and products in the United Kingdom without the required regulatory approval.
Novatrust-asset conducts its business through the website www.novatrust-asset.com and has listed an address at 37 Westminster Buildings, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 6LG, United Kingdom. The FCA cautions that unauthorized entities frequently provide false contact details, including cloned postal addresses, telephone numbers, and email accounts, or change these details over time to deceive potential investors.
In the UK, almost all firms and individuals must be authorized or registered by the FCA before offering, promoting, or administering financial investments or trading services. Engaging with unauthorized firms like Novatrust-asset leaves consumers vulnerable to severe risks. Clients dealing with unapproved entities do not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service to resolve disputes, nor are their deposits covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) should the business fail or commit fraud.
Investors are urged to exercise extreme caution and verify any financial firm's credentials on the official FCA Register before committing funds. If you have been contacted by Novatrust-asset or suspect you have interacted with an unauthorized firm, report the details directly to the Financial Conduct Authority.
