Description of allegations — filed text

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT DISADVANTAGED CERTAIN RETIREMENT PLAN AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION CUSTOMERS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE CLASS A SHARES IN CERTAIN MUTUAL FUNDS WITHOUT A FRONT-END SALES CHARGE. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THESE ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS WERE INSTEAD SOLD CLASS A SHARES WITH A FRONT-END SALES CHARGE OR CLASS B OR C SHARES WITH BACK-END SALES CHARGES AND HIGHER ONGOING FEES AND EXPENSES. THESE SALES DISADVANTAGED ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS BY CAUSING SUCH CUSTOMERS TO PAY HIGHER FEES THAN THEY WERE ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO PAY. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY SUPERVISE THE APPLICATION OF SALES-CHARGE WAIVERS TO ELIGIBLE MUTUAL FUND SALES. THE FIRM RELIED ON ITS FINANCIAL ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE APPLICABILITY OF SALES-CHARGE WAIVERS, BUT FAILED TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES (WSPS) TO ASSIST FINANCIAL ADVISORS IN MAKING THIS DETERMINATION. IN ADDITION, THE FIRM FAILED TO ADEQUATELY NOTIFY AND TRAIN ITS FINANCIAL ADVISORS REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF MUTUAL FUND SALES- CHARGE WAIVERS FOR ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS. THE FIRM FAILED TO ADOPT ADEQUATE CONTROLS TO DETECT INSTANCES IN WHICH THEY DID NOT PROVIDE SALES-CHARGE WAIVERS TO ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR MUTUAL FUND PURCHASES. AS A RESULT OF THE FIRM'S FAILURE TO APPLY AVAILABLE SALES CHARGE WAIVERS, IT ESTIMATES THAT ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS WERE OVERCHARGED BY APPROXIMATELY $560,170 FOR MUTUAL FUND PURCHASES MADE SINCE JANUARY 1, 2011.

Sanction detail — filed text

THE FIRM WAS CENSURED AND IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FINRA WITH A PLAN TO REMEDIATE ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS WHO QUALIFIED FOR, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE, THE APPLICABLE MUTUAL FUND SALES-CHARGE WAIVER. AS PART OF THIS SETTLEMENT, THE FIRM AGREES TO PAY RESTITUTION TO ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS, WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO TOTAL $640,552 (I.E., THE AMOUNT ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS WERE OVERCHARGED, INCLUSIVE OF INTEREST).
