Important notice: Fraudulent schemes impersonating Garda Capital Partners and its Affiliates

We have been made aware of recent incidents involving individuals and groups falsely claiming to be associated with Garda Capital Partners and its Affiliates ("Garda") on social media platforms and messaging apps. These imposters have engaged in a variety of fraudulent activity, including falsifying documentation purporting to be issued by Garda, impersonating Garda, and creating fake employee names to solicit investments on behalf of Garda. Garda manages private investment funds that are not offered to the general public. Please be aware that Garda does not solicit, and will not accept, investments from the general public. Any such solicitations, including via social media platforms or messaging apps such as Facebook Chat and Telegram, are fake.

Garda and its officers, employees, directors, and agents are not responsible for any conduct by unauthorized parties and channels, nor are they responsible for the services or information provided by such unauthorized parties and channels. If you have any questions or wish to confirm you are communicating with an authorized representative of Garda, please contact us via the information set forth on this website.

If you believe that you or someone you know has been a victim of fraud, please report the matter to your local law enforcement or other relevant authorities. Additional information is available at the following resources:
