雷蒙德·詹姆斯and Robert W. Baird Are Charged With Compliance Failures
美国证券bob200体育交易委员会说,罗伯特·W·贝尔德(Robert W. Baird and Co.)Raymond James&Associates(RJF)将分别支付25万美元和60万美元,以解决指控他们在自己的免费包装计划中的合规性失败。两家公司都在不承认或否认他们的情况下解决了指控。但是,他们确实同意监管机构的命令,该命令发现他们违反了1940年的《投资顾问法》和第206(4)-7条规则。
According to the SEC’s investigation, Raymond James and Robert W. Baird did not put into place the necessary policies and procedures that would have allowed them to figure out how much in commissions their clients were charged when sub-advisers “traded away” with a brokerage firm that was not part of the wrap fee programs. As a result, said the regulator, the advisers could not let clients know the “magnitude of the costs” nor did the firm consider these commissions when trying to figure out whether the wrap fee program or sub-advisers were appropriate for clients. Because of this, claims the SEC, some clients did not know that they were paying for more than the single wrap fee for investments that were bundled.
