Ontario Securities Commission, Investor Warning Index update, 23 April 2026: Wealth Invest 24, Horizon Chain Investments aka Horizon Chain Capitals, Robo Broker Ltd., Growth Path 1, Tuxtop aka Tuxai, Highmont Group, AXIS-Community VIP1, Gold Rush Experts and Apollo Ventures Trading Ltd.
The Ontario Securities Commissionhttps://www.osc.ca/en/investors/investor-warnings-and-alerts added all nine entities to its Investor Warning Index on 23 April 2026 — a batch addition unusual in scale for a single update.
The OSC's investor-warning instrument is not a finding of fact, a final notice or a consent order. It alerts Ontario investors that the named entities are suspected of soliciting investment without registration under Ontario securities law. No fine has been imposed, no admission has been made and no cease-trade order has been issued.
The OSC's published language states that these entities 'are not registered to trade in or advise on securities or derivatives in Ontario' and that the commission 'believes they may be targeting Ontario investors.' That characterisation is an allegation, not adjudicated conduct.
Several entries carry associated domains: wealthinvest24.com and wealth-invest24.com for Wealth Invest 24; apolloexch.com for Apollo Ventures Trading Ltd.; horizonchain.io and robobrokerltd.net for Horizon Chain Investments and Robo Broker Ltd. respectively. IOSCOhttps://www.iosco.org/'s I-SCAN network circulated a cross-border alert I-SCAN Alert 2026-045 on 24 April 2026, extending the OSC's flag to member jurisdictions globally.
No formal industry reaction had surfaced at publication.
For Ontario investors and compliance teams, the practical step is verification via the OSC's registration portal before engaging with any of the nine entities. The OSC's investor-warning page is a live register subject to further additions and removals. No hearing date or appeal deadline applies, as no formal proceeding has been filed. The consultation has not disclosed the total population of investors contacted by the named entities.
