On February 11, the State Securities Commission announced that it had received a report from a foreign investor, Norges Bank Investment Management, reflecting on the situation of a Telegram group called “Norges Bank Investment Management” showing signs of impersonating the name and logo of this investment fund with the aim of defrauding and enticing investors to transfer money to buy securities and open securities trading accounts.

Norges Bank Investment Management affirms that the fund does not have any office or presence in Vietnam; does not provide any services to investors in Vietnam; does not allow the use of the name “Norges Bank Investment Management” on the Telegram platform or any other similar social networking platform to reach the public in Vietnam with commercial and investment services.
The State Securities Commission recommends that investors be cautious, check and compare information before trading, and invest according to information on social platforms to avoid fraud and property appropriation.
Norges Bank Investment Management is the world's largest investment fund, with total assets under management worth approximately 1,739 billion USD (including stocks, real estate, etc.). The largest investments include Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, NVIDIA Corp, Alphabet Inc, Amazon, etc. This is a member fund of Dragon Capital. In the Vietnamese stock market, the fund is holding investments in many stocks such as DGC, DCM, DPM, FRT, MWG, PNJ, PTB, VRE, MCH, MSN, SAB, VNM, HPG, IDC, KBC, NLG, VHM, FPT, etc.
Previously, many investment funds and securities companies were impersonated by individuals, forming groups on social networking platforms to attract and entice investors to participate as well as advise and transfer money to invest in securities. However, after that, investors would suffer continuous losses but those individuals would suddenly "disappear" and could not be contacted.
