Investor Scam Alert

GCM Grosvenor L.P. and its affiliated entities (collectively, “GCMG”) have been made aware of fraudulent schemes currently targeting members of the public in Malaysia and Hong Kong, in which unauthorised individuals are falsely claiming to represent GCMG in connection with purported investment opportunities.

These fraudulent individuals are believed to be actively promoting false investment opportunities, often involving mobile applications, through the unauthorised use of GCMG’s name, brand, corporate logo, and other identifying materials. We have also received reports that these parties may be distributing fabricated business cards, hosting online webinars, creating WhatsApp groups, and arranging personal video calls to simulate legitimacy. These scams are sophisticated and deliberately misleading, frequently involving the use of real GCMG employee names and imitating the style, tone, and presentation of genuine GCMG communications.

GCMG has no presence, operations, or authorised representatives in Malaysia. GCMG does not offer any investment schemes, products, or mobile applications targeted at Malaysian investors, either directly or indirectly.

While GCMG maintains a legitimate presence and employs personnel in Hong Kong, these scams are entirely unauthorised and unrelated to any genuine activities conducted by GCMG or its employees in the region.

Position of GCMG

GCMG has neither authorised nor endorsed any such solicitations and takes this matter seriously. We have reported some of these incidents to the relevant regulatory and enforcement authorities in Malaysia, and are doing the same in Hong Kong, including notifying the Hong Kong Police and the appropriate financial regulators. GCMG will continue to assist with their investigations.

GCMG is actively monitoring these developments and reserves all rights to take legal action against any party found misusing its name, brand, or intellectual property.

While these reports currently centre on activity in Malaysia and Hong Kong, the methods used may be replicated in other jurisdictions. GCMG continues to monitor for similar risks globally.
