The Ukraine National Commission on Securities and Stock Market published an appeal emphasising that investment consulting should be carried out under a licence and urging market participants to legalise their activities. It reported that one company has recently completed the licensing procedure and is already operating with the right to provide investment advisory services. The Commission highlighted that a licence provides legal standing to give investment recommendations, supports advising clients in making financial decisions, and may strengthen trust with investors and partners while enabling business expansion. It directed applicants to submit documents under the procedure approved by Decision No. 982 of 21 October 2021 and comply with the licence conditions approved by Decision No. 208 of 21 February 2024, and reminded investors to consult the “Investor Protection” section on its “Contribution” platform.
