WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, SMITH CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT HE MADE UNSUITABLE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A FAMILY TRUST FORMED BY A SENIOR MARRIED COUPLE. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT SMITH AND ANOTHER REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE AT HIS MEMBER FIRM FIRM RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRUST PURCHASE A DEFERRED VARIABLE ANNUITY FOR APPROXIMATELY $540,000 AND FUND THAT PURCHASE THROUGH TWO WITHDRAWALS FROM AN INDEXED ANNUITY OWNED BY THE TRUST. SMITH WAS AWARE THAT FUNDING THE PURCHASE OF THE VARIABLE ANNUITY WITH WITHDRAWALS FROM THE TRUST'S EXISTING ANNUITY COULD RESULT IN NEGATIVE TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR THE TRUST AND WAS ALSO AWARE THAT THE RECOMMENDATION TO PURCHASE THE VARIABLE ANNUITY WOULD NOT BE SUITABLE IF IT CAUSED NEGATIVE TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR THE TRUST. HOWEVER, NEITHER SMITH NOR THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVE RESEARCHED HOW THE TRUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THE VARIABLE ANNUITY WITHOUT NEGATIVE TAX CONSEQUENCES. INSTEAD, SMITH RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRUST WITHDRAW FUNDS FROM THE INDEXED ANNUITY VIA TWO CHECKS PAYABLE TO THE TRUST AND IMMEDIATELY ENDORSE THE CHECKS AS PAYABLE TO THE FIRM IN ORDER TO FUND THE PURCHASE OF THE VARIABLE ANNUITY. THE TRUST, THROUGH ITS TRUSTEE, FOLLOWED SMITH'S RECOMMENDATIONS. SMITH MISTAKENLY BELIEVED THAT HAVING THE TRUST IMMEDIATELY ENDORSE THE CHECKS AS PAYABLE TO THE FIRM WOULD AVOID ANY ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES, BUT HE DID NOT CONFIRM THAT BELIEF. THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FUNDS FROM THE INDEXED ANNUITY WERE, IN FACT, TAXABLE EVENTS THAT RESULTED IN NEGATIVE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE TRUST. THE ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF SMITH OR THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVE HAD RECOMMENDED THE NEW VARIABLE ANNUITY BE PURCHASED AS A TAX-FREE 1035 EXCHANGE, BUT THEY FAILED TO RESEARCH THAT OPTION.

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT FILED SOME OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES' FORM U4 AMENDMENTS MORE THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE FIRM LEARNED FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES GIVING RISE TO THE AMENDMENTS. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM'S WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES (WSPS) FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE GUIDANCE TO REPRESENTATIVES ON REPORTING FORM U4 UPDATES TO THE FIRM BY FAILING TO INDICATE THE REQUISITE TIME PERIOD FOR MAKING SUCH UPDATES, AS WELL AS THE TYPES OF EVENTS THAT WOULD NECESSITATE THESE UPDATES. THE FIRM SUBSEQUENTLY REVISED ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT GUIDANCE TO ITS REPRESENTATIVES, HOWEVER, THE FIRM'S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REVISED POLICIES WAS DEFICIENT. SPECIFICALLY, ALTHOUGH THE FIRM WARNED REPRESENTATIVES THAT THEY MAY BE FINED IF THEY MADE UNTIMELY NOTIFICATIONS TO THE FIRM OF POTENTIAL FORM U4 AMENDMENTS, THE FIRM THEN DELAYED ENFORCEMENT OF THAT REVISED POLICY. THE FIRM'S RELIANCE UPON INADEQUATE WSPS, IN ADDITION TO ITS DELAY IN IMPLEMENTING ITS REVISED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, CAUSED THE FIRM'S SYSTEM OF SUPERVISION TO BE UNREASONABLY DESIGNED TO ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA BY-LAWS ARTICLE V, SECTION 2(C).
