SEC ADMIN RELEASE 34- 83003, IA RELEASE 4877 / APRIL 6, 2018: THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DEEMS IT APPROPRIATE AND IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST THAT PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE AND CEASE-AND-DESIST PROCEEDINGS BE INSTITUTED AGAINST GENEOS WEALTH MANAGEMENT, INC. ("GENEOS" OR "RESPONDENT"). ON THE BASIS OF THIS ORDER AND RESPONDENT'S OFFER, THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT THESE PROCEEDINGS ARISE FROM A SERIES OF FAILURES BY GENEOS, A REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER AND BROKER-DEALER, IN CONNECTION WITH ITS MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASS SELECTION PRACTICES AND ITS RECEIPT OF REVENUE SHARING PAYMENTS. FIRST, FROM FEBRUARY 2012 THROUGH APRIL 2017 (THE "RELEVANT 12B-1 PERIOD"), GENEOS INVESTED CERTAIN ADVISORY CLIENTS IN MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASSES THAT CHARGED 12B-1 FEES WHEN THESE CLIENTS WERE ELIGIBLE TO INVEST IN CHEAPER SHARE CLASSES OF THE SAME FUNDS THAT DID NOT CHARGE SUCH FEES. GENEOS FINANCIALLY BENEFITTED FROM INVESTING ADVISORY CLIENTS IN MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASSES WITH HIGHER FEES, WHICH CREATED A CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT GENEOS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY DISCLOSE IN ITS FORMS ADV, PART 2A ("FIRM BROCHURES") OR OTHERWISE. IN ITS CAPACITY AS A BROKER-DEALER, GENEOS RECEIVED AT LEAST $1,047,617.50 IN 12B-1 FEES BASED ON ITS ADVISORY CLIENTS' INVESTMENTS IN THE HIGHER-FEE SHARE CLASSES. GENEOS' PRACTICE OF INVESTING ADVISORY CLIENTS IN MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASSES THAT CHARGED 12B-1 FEES RATHER THAN CHEAPER SHARE CLASSES OF THE SAME FUNDS WAS ALSO INCONSISTENT WITH ITS DUTY TO SEEK BEST EXECUTION. SECOND, FROM FEBRUARY 2012 THROUGH JANUARY 2018 (THE "RELEVANT REVENUE SHARING PERIOD"), GENEOS FAILED TO DISCLOSE TO ITS CLIENTS COMPENSATION THAT IT RECEIVED THROUGH AGREEMENTS WITH TWO THIRD-PARTY BROKER-DEALERS ("CLEARING BROKERS") AND CONFLICTS ARISING FROM THAT COMPENSATION. PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENTS, THE CLEARING BROKERS AGREED TO SHARE WITH GENEOS CERTAIN REVENUES THAT THE CLEARING BROKERS RECEIVED FROM THE MUTUAL FUNDS IN THE CLEARING BROKERS' NO-TRANSACTION-FEE MUTUAL FUND PROGRAMS ("NTF PROGRAMS"). THESE PAYMENTS, TOTALING $386,185.77, CREATED A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THAT THEY PROVIDED A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE FOR GENEOS TO FAVOR THE MUTUAL FUNDS IN THE NTF PROGRAMS OVER OTHER INVESTMENTS WHEN GIVING INVESTMENT ADVICE TO ITS ADVISORY CLIENTS. FINALLY, GENEOS FAILED TO ADOPT WRITTEN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REASONABLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT VIOLATIONS OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND THE RULES THEREUNDER IN CONNECTION WITH ITS MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASS SELECTION PRACTICES AND ITS REVENUE SHARING ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE CLEARING BROKERS. AS A RESULT OF THE CONDUCT, GENEOS WILLFULLY VIOLATED SECTIONS 206(2), 206(4), AND 207 OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND RULE 206(4)-7 THEREUNDER.
