Description of allegations — filed text

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT AS A RESULT OF TECHNOLOGICAL ERRORS AND IN ONE CASE AN AMBIGUOUS CLAUSE IN A VENDOR AGREEMENT, THE FIRM DID NOT MAKE TIMELY DELIVERY OF CUSTOMER CONFIRMATIONS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO DELIVER IMMEDIATE CONFIRMATIONS TO CUSTOMERS IN CONNECTION WITH 17 TRANSACTION TYPES. THESE DELIVERY FAILURES RESULTED FROM A COMPUTER CODING ERROR BY WHICH THE FIRM'S SYSTEM WAS NOT PROPERLY PROGRAMMED TO GENERATE IMMEDIATE CONFIRMATIONS FOR THESE UNIQUE TRANSACTION TYPES. DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF IMMEDIATE CONFIRMATIONS, CUSTOMERS SEPARATELY RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RELEVANT TRANSACTIONS THROUGH OTHER MEANS, INCLUDING QUARTERLY STATEMENTS. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT DURING A TWO-WEEK PERIOD IN DECEMBER 2013, THE FIRM NEGLECTED TO SEND EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS TO CERTAIN CUSTOMERS ALERTING THEM WHEN AN ELECTRONIC CONFIRMATION WAS GENERATED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE VIEWING. THE FINDINGS ALSO INCLUDED THAT FOLLOWING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A NEW AUTOMATED SYSTEM AND WHILE REPLACING VENDORS FOR PAPER CONFIRMATION PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY, THE FIRM DISCOVERED THAT ITS ORIGINAL VENDOR HAD SENT PAPER CONFIRMATIONS FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS TWO DAYS OR MORE AFTER THE TRANSACTION RATHER THAN ONE DAY AFTER THE TRANSACTION. THIS DELAY RESULTED FROM AN AMBIGUITY CREATED BY THE LANGUAGE IN THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE FIRM AND THE VENDOR. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM DELIVERED CONFIRMATIONS FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS THAT DID NOT EXPLICITLY DENOTE THE FIRM'S CAPACITY AS AGENT. ALTHOUGH THE AFFECTED TRANSACTIONS REPRESENTED A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE FIRM'S OVERALL TRANSACTIONS DURING THE RELEVANT PERIOD, IN THE AGGREGATE THEY NUMBERED IN THE MILLIONS.

THE FIRM WAS CENSURED AND FINED $275,000. IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER, FINRA RECOGNIZED THAT THE FIRM: (1) TIMELY SELF-REPORTED THE FOREGOING CONFIRMATION ISSUES TO FINRA; (2) PRIOR TO DETECTION OR INTERVENTION BY A REGULATOR, ENGAGED OUTSIDE COUNSEL AND AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT AN INTERNAL FORENSIC INVESTIGATION OF THE RELEVANT ISSUES; (3) PROMPTLY TOOK CORRECTIVE ACTION AND REVISED ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REGARDING CONFIRMATION PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY; (4) HIRED ADDITIONAL STAFF DEDICATED TO ENSURING PROPER CONFIRMATION PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY; AND (5) PROVIDED SUBSTANTIAL ASSISTANCE TO FINRA BY SHARING THE RESULTS OF ITS INTERNAL INVESTIGATION AND VOLUNTARILY AND PROMPTLY PROVIDING UPDATES REGARDING ADDITIONAL CONFIRMATION DELIVERY ISSUES DISCOVERED DURING ITS INTERNAL INVESTIGATION.
