Jupiter has recently become aware of increased fraudulent activity where members of the public have been cold-called by people claiming to work for Jupiter.

The callers have been trying to persuade individuals to invest money in bogus funds that share the same or similar names to genuine Jupiter funds (e.g. Jupiter UK Growth Fund) or in funds that use the Jupiter name (e.g. Jupiter Equity Fund). Individuals who invest this way following such calls are not investing in legitimate Jupiter funds and are likely being defrauded by criminals operating in overseas jurisdictions..

Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Limited, Jupiter Asset Management Limited and their related companies are not authorised to give investment advice; therefore, staff do not make cold-calls and Jupiter will not contact you to make investment recommendations.

The only way to invest in genuine Jupiter funds is directly with us by phone or post or indirectly through an IFA or funds platform provider. For more information on investing, please visit our website www.jupiteronline.co.uk or speak to your financial adviser.

If you are contacted by any person claiming to work for Jupiter and offering investment solutions, we recommend that you either contact us on 0844 620 7600 or you report your experience to the FSA, either by phone or via their online reporting form, which can be found here. Jupiter takes any reported activity of this nature seriously and may take action to protect the Jupiter funds and name.
