It is hard to believe that firms like this still exist. With most major firms giving away trading now, it makes no sense to have investments with a firm that charges commissions for trading, thus encouraging churning accounts to make commissions. It is good that FINRA took action, which should protect investors, but it is misleading to suggest that Reg BI enforcement somehow led to this outcome. These behaviors were always a violation of industry rules and regulations and Reg BI did absolutely nothing to impact FINRA's actions here. In my opinion, Reg BI remains a weak rule that is meant to give those who provide investment advice a free pass from acting as fiduciaries when they know investors all expect and deserve that standard of care. #investorprotection

📣 Breaking News: SEC Charges 11 Wall Street Firms over Recordkeeping Failures! Key Highlights: 📌 SEC has announced charges against 10 broker-dealers and one dually registered broker-dealer & investment adviser. 📌 The firms acknowledged their conduct violated federal securities laws and have agreed to penalties totaling $289 million. 📌 Key firms and penalties: Wells Fargo group: $125 million BNP Paribas & SG Americas: $35 million each BMO Capital & Mizuho Securities: $25 million each Houlihan Lokey: $15 million Moelis & Company & Wedbush Securities: $10 million each SMBC Nikko Securities: $9 million Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, emphasized the importance of firms self-reporting, cooperating, and remediating violations. The SEC's primary concern is the firms' failure to maintain and preserve electronic communications on personal devices, undermining regulatory oversight and potentially jeopardizing investor protections. In addition to financial penalties, the firms were ordered to cease future violations and retain independent compliance consultants to review and strengthen their internal electronic communication policies. Separate settlements were also announced by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission with several firms over related conduct. For the financial community, this serves as a potent reminder of the importance of stringent recordkeeping and compliance to uphold the integrity of our markets. 💼🔍 #SEC #WallStreet #Compliance #Finance #Recordkeeping #Enforcement https://lnkd.in/gCACqYu6

Compliance with federal securities laws is essential to protect investors and maintain well-functioning markets. The SEC has taken strong enforcement actions, with 30 cases and over $1.5 billion in penalties to date. While some have taken heed and improved their policies, today's actions serve as a reminder that many still have not. Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, urges broker-dealers and investment advisers to take this message seriously and prioritize compliance with books and records requirements. #InvestorProtection #SEC #EnforcementActions #BizComGlobal

Partner, Quinn Emanuel (Los Angeles/Washington D.C.) | Former Chief and Co-Chief, SEC's Asset Management Unit
Among the SEC's charges announced today against 11 broker-dealers for failing to retain certain required records, was a single case involving a dual-registrant broker-dealer/investment adviser. The SEC's order against the dual registrant, however, does not shed any additional light on the question the industry has raised with the SEC: How broadly is the SEC interpreting an adviser's records retention requirements regarding recommendations, which differ from a broker-dealer's record retention requirements to maintain all business-related communications? While the SEC order restates the language of the rule applicable to investment advisers and includes a general allegation that off-channel communications related to recommendations to advisory clients, the examples the SEC order includes provide no additional information on this point. https://lnkd.in/gXiVc34F
