1. Business Model Description
Finosauras operates as an advisor aggregation platform that collects trade signals from SEBI-registered and non-registered advisors through publicly available data on Telegram, YouTube, WhatsApp, X (formerly Twitter), broker websites, reddit, forums, NSE/BSE website and research analyst websites. Our platform helps traders, investors, and sub-brokers by providing them with insights into the performance, returns, signals and track records of these advisors, enabling them to make informed decisions.
Long-Term Vision:
- In the next 2.5 years, Finosauras aims to become a comprehensive stock research tool integrating social signals, technical data, and fundamental analysis with market news to provide robust insights.
Key Characteristics:
- Data Aggregation: We only collect publicly available data and do not use any paid or restricted content.
- No Direct Advisory: Finosauras does not offer trade or investment advice. Instead, we present data showing the performance of various advisors, letting users assess historical results themselves.
- Compliance with SEBI: We make it clear on our platform when an advisor is not SEBI-registered and include disclaimers emphasizing that following such advisors is a wrong practice under SEBI regulations. Our aim is to educate users about the importance of choosing registered advisors for financial guidance.
Disclaimers:
- We provide clear disclaimers on every page or platform where non-SEBI registered advisors are featured, stating that users should consult SEBI-registered analysts before making any trades.
- We stress that all data on our platform is for educational and research purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice.
2. Outreach to Research Analysts
Current Approach:
- Finosauras does not directly engage with SEBI-registered or non-registered advisors. Instead, we collect and showcase publicly available data from these advisors’ social media platforms and websites. We do not access any paid content or information that is not publicly accessible.
- Advisors are not currently onboarded, and there are no revenue-sharing agreements in place.
Compliance with SEBI:
- We ensure that non-registered advisors are clearly identified as not SEBI-registered, and we provide disclaimers warning users that following non-registered advisors for trade advice is non-compliant with SEBI regulations.
