  14. V. Non-listed non financial corporations and households Investments in foreign funds “through” an institution in Mexico (“low profile soliciting”, e.g. Stanford) Domestic authorities have no power over such investments. • Response to “Madoff and Stanford” cases: stress the importance of investors verifying that institutions are authorized to take deposits or investments. • Irregular deposit taking and low-profile soliciting will continue, thus information gaps for domestic authorities remain. • Cooperation among international authorities may mitigate the information gaps and greatly contribute to understanding risks borne domestically from investments in foreign funds.
