The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said it had lifted the suspension of Heritage Capital Markets Limited from capital market activities, together with its directors and sponsored individuals. The management of SEC signed the document which cleared the company, while also posting the same on its website.<\/p>\n

SEC had suspended Heritage Capital Markets and its directors as well as sponsored individuals in December last year over the alleged unauthorised sale of shares belonging to an investor and the company\u2019s refusal to comply with the commission\u2019s directives over the matter. SEC had warned the general public that the suspension was indefinite.<\/p>\n

The regulator was quoted to have said that, \u201cThe general public is hereby informed that the suspension is indefinite and shall remain in force pending the resolution of the matter against the operator.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the apex regulatory authority of the Nigerian capital market, the commission recently said it would do everything within the confines of the Investments and Securities Act (2007) and the Rules and Regulations made pursuant to the Act, to ensure the protection of investors and their investments in the market.<\/p>

The commission has established a robust framework for investigating complaints received from investors, and also has an enforcement mechanism. It said it would \u201ccontinue to maintain zero tolerance for any form of infraction in the market, while adopting a risk-based monitoring and supervision of operators and institutions in the market to forestall potential systemic collapse.<\/p>\n

SEC imposes stiff sanctions on erring operators to serve as a deterrent within the limits permitted by law, while infractions with elements of criminality are referred to the law enforcement agencies for prosecution as provided under Section 304 of the ISA 2007. In furtherance to this, the commission has developed a thriving partnership with the Nigerian Police Force and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to prosecute these matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
