WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT IMPROPERLY CHARGED TICKET CHARGES IN AT LEAST 449 TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING 129 ACCOUNTS FOR CLIENTS OF ITS AFFILIATED REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISOR (RIA).

SOME OR ALL OF THESE FEES ARE PASSED ON BY THE FIRM TO CLIENTS IN THE FORM OF A TICKET CHARGE. IN SOME CASES, THE FIRM PERMITTED ITS REPRESENTATIVES (WHO ARE ALL DUALLY REGISTERED WITH THE RIA) TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF THE TICKET CHARGE (IF ANY) THAT WOULD BE ASSESSED TO THEIR CLIENTS, THESE CHARGES WERE NOT UNIFORM. THE FIRM'S REPRESENTATIVES UTILIZED AT LEAST TWELVE DIFFERENT TICKET CHARGE STRUCTURES IN CONNECTION WITH TRADE PROCESSING, INCLUDING VARYING FLAT FEES, PER-SHARE FEES, AND HYBRID FEES.

THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF OVERCHARGED TICKET CHARGES WAS $42,530, WHICH THE FIRM VOLUNTARILY REPAID TO THE AFFECTED CUSTOMERS WHEN THE CHARGES WERE DISCOVERED. THE FINDINGS ALSO INCLUDED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO HAVE AN ADEQUATE SUPERVISORY SYSTEM IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT EACH CUSTOMER WAS CHARGED ONLY THE FEE THAT WAS DISCLOSED IN THAT CUSTOMER'S ADVISORY AGREEMENT. AS A RESULT, THE FIRM OFTEN ASSESSED A TICKET CHARGE THAT WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE DISCLOSED AMOUNT, AND IN MANY CASES, THIS FEE RESULTED IN THE CUSTOMER BEING CHARGED A FEE THAT EXCEEDED THE AGREED AMOUNT. THESE IMPROPER CHARGES ALSO WERE ASSESSED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROCESSING OF BLOCK TRADES, WHICH MAY HAVE RESULTED IN THE ASSESSMENT OF A HIGHER PROCESSING FEE FOR BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS.
