WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IN 18 INSTANCES BETWEEN APRIL 2014 TO JUNE 2014, THE FIRM ACCEPTED AND HELD 12 CUSTOMER ORDERS IN OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) SECURITIES, TRADED FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT AT PRICES THAT WOULD HAVE SATISFIED THE CUSTOMER ORDERS, AND FAILED TO EXECUTE OR IMMEDIATELY EXECUTE THE CUSTOMER ORDERS UP TO THE SIZE AND AT THE SAME PRICE AT WHICH IT TRADED FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR AT A BETTER PRICE. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT WITH RESPECT TO 16 OF THE 18 INSTANCES, THE FIRM ASSERTED THE "NO-KNOWLEDGE EXCEPTION," WHICH IS CODIFIED IN SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL .02 OF FINRA RULE 5320. THE FIRM'S SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS (INFORMATION BARRIERS) DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL .02(B), BECAUSE TRADERS AT ONE DESK HAD THE ABILITY TO VIEW THE OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER ORDERS THAT WERE ACCEPTED AND HELD BY ANOTHER DESK. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT DURING THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2014 AND FOURTH QUARTER OF 2014 THROUGH THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2015, THE FIRM'S SUPERVISORY SYSTEM DID NOT PROVIDE FOR SUPERVISION REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND REGULATIONS, AND NASD RULES CONCERNING COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA RULE 5320 AND SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL .02 OF RULE 5320. THE FIRM DID NOT HAVE POLICIES OR PROCEDURES THAT PREVENTED ITS TRADING DESKS THAT WERE SEPARATED BY INFORMATION BARRIERS FROM OBTAINING KNOWLEDGE REGARDING ORDERS OR TRADING ACTIVITY OF THE OTHER DESKS. THE FIRM'S WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES FAILED TO INCLUDE A SUPERVISORY REVIEW THAT ENSURED THAT THE FIRM'S INFORMATION BARRIERS, FOR WHICH THE FIRM RELIED ON THE "NO-KNOWLEDGE EXCEPTION," WERE OPERATING APPROPRIATELY AND PERMISSIONS THAT THE FIRM'S EMPLOYEES HAD TO THE FIRM'S SYSTEMS WERE GRANTED APPROPRIATELY. IN ADDITION, ALTHOUGH THE FIRM HAD A TRADING AHEAD EXCEPTION REPORT, IT FAILED TO CAPTURE ANY OF THE TRADING AHEAD INSTANCES IDENTIFIED. THE EXCEPTION REPORT WAS ALSO FLAWED AND UNRELIABLE DURING THE REVIEW PERIODS. THE FINDINGS ALSO INCLUDED THAT DURING THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2014, FOURTH QUARTER OF 2014 THROUGH THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2015 AND FOURTH QUARTER OF 2015, THE FIRM FAILED TO REPORT AN INFORMATION BARRIER IDENTIFIER WITH ITS ORDER AUDIT TRAIL SYSTEM (OATS) SUBMISSIONS FOR 76 ORDERS.

IN MAY OF 2020 THE FIRM ENTERED INTO A LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE, WAIVER AND CONSENT (AWC) WITH FINRA WHEREBY THE FIRM, WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING ANY SPECIFIC FINDINGS, CONSENTED TO FINDINGS THAT THE FROM JANUARY 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 2016 THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AND ENFORCE WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES (WSPS) THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRAS SUITABILITY RULE AS IT PERTAINS TO EARLY ROLLOVERS OF UNIT INVESTMENT TRUSTS. AS A RESULT THE FIRM VIOLATED NASD RULE 3010; FINRA RULE 3110 AND FINRA RULE 2010. ADDITIONALLY, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO A FURTHER VIOLATION OF FINRA RULE 2010 IN CONNECTION WITH THE SENDING OF "SWITCH LETTERS" TO CUSTOMERS CONTAINING INACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COSTS THEY INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS. THE FIRM AGREES TO PAY A FINE OF $1.75 MILLION AND RESTITUTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,891,188.13, PLUS INTEREST. THE FINRA STAFF DID NOT REQUIRE ANY REMEDIAL UNDERTAKINGS BY THE FIRM IN THE AWC. THE FIRM HAS IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS ENHANCEMENTS TO ITS SUPERVISION AND COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT OF EARLY ROLLOVERS OF UITS WHICH IT BELIEVES ADDRESSES THE ALLEGED DEFICIENCIES IDENTIFIED BY FINRA. THOSE ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE IMPLEMENTATION OF A SWITCH ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR EARLY ROLLOVERS, A RISK-BASED APPROACH OF COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT FOR EARLY ROLLOVER ACTIVITY AND A PERIODIC "LOOKBACK" BY THE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY ROLLOVER ACTIVITY BY SELECTED FINANCIAL ADVISORS.

Description of allegations — filed text
WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT, FROM JANUARY 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 2016, IT FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM, AND FAILED TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND ENFORCE WSPS, THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA'S SUITABILITY RULE AS IT PERTAINS TO EARLY ROLLOVERS OF UNIT INVESTMENT TRUSTS (UIT). THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM'S WSPS REFERENCED A UIT SWITCH LETTER THAT REPRESENTATIVES COULD USE WHEN A CLIENT SOLD A POSITION IN A UIT BEFORE MATURITY TO PURCHASE ANOTHER UIT OR MUTUAL FUND. THE PURPOSE OF THE SWITCH LETTER WAS TO CONFIRM A CUSTOMER'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE TRANSACTION SWITCH AS WELL AS THE RELATED RISKS AND EXPENSES. NONETHELESS, THE WSPS DID NOT PROVIDE GUIDANCE ABOUT WHEN SWITCH LETTERS SHOULD BE SENT OR HOW FIRM SUPERVISORS SHOULD MONITOR FOR POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE PATTERNS OF EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS. THE FIRM USED AN AUTOMATED SURVEILLANCE ALERT TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL SWITCHES BETWEEN UITS AND MUTUAL FUNDS (THE SWITCH ALERT). HOWEVER, THE SWITCH ALERT FAILED TO FLAG UIT SWITCHES. THE FIRM DISCOVERED THAT THE SWITCH ALERT DID NOT IDENTIFY SWITCHES FROM ONE UIT TO ANOTHER. DESPITE THIS KNOWLEDGE, THE FIRM DID NOT INFORM ITS BRANCH MANAGERS THAT THE SWITCH ALERT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED. THE FIRM LATER DEVELOPED AN ALTERNATIVE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM TO FLAG UIT-TO-UIT SWITCHES. HOWEVER, THAT ALERT WAS NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED TO DETECT UNSUITABLE UIT SWITCHES BECAUSE IT ONLY FLAGGED UITS THAT WERE HELD FOR LESS THAN A YEAR EVEN IF THE UIT HAD A LONG-TERM MATURITY DATE. FURTHERMORE, THE ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM LATER STOPPED FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED, BUT THE FIRM DID NOT DISCOVER THAT FACT UNTIL A LATER DATE. AS A RESULT, ALTHOUGH THE FIRM SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED THE SWITCH ALERT, ITS COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT CONTINUED TO USE THE FIRM'S ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY UIT SWITCHES. THE FIRM FAILED TO IDENTIFY THAT ITS REPRESENTATIVES RECOMMENDED POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS, INCLUDING SERIES-TO-SERIES ROLLOVERS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED CUSTOMERS TO INCUR $1,891,188.13 IN SALES CHARGES THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE INCURRED HAD THEY HELD THE UITS UNTIL THEIR MATURITY DATES. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM SENT SWITCH LETTERS TO CUSTOMERS THAT CONTAINED INACCURATE OR MISSING INFORMATION ABOUT THE COSTS THAT THEY INCURRED AS A RESULT OF EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS. THE FIRM DID NOT VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN CERTAIN OF THE SWITCH LETTERS, APART FROM AD HOC REVIEWS CONDUCTED AS PART OF THE FIRM'S BRANCH INSPECTION PROGRAM. CERTAIN UIT SWITCH LETTERS UNDERSTATED THE SALES CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWITCH, AND OTHERS DID NOT LIST ANY SALES CHARGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW UIT PURCHASED BY THE CUSTOMER, EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCHES RESULTED IN THE CUSTOMERS INCURRING NEW SALES CHARGES. COLLECTIVELY, THE SWITCH LETTERS DISCLOSED SALES CHARGES OF APPROXIMATELY $330,440, WHEN THE ACTUAL SALES CHARGES INCURRED BY CUSTOMERS WERE MORE THAN $1,249,052.

Describe the allegations related to this regulatory action (your response must fit within the space provided): WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT, FROM JANUARY 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 2016, IT FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM, AND FAILED TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND ENFORCE WSPS, THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA'S SUITABILITY RULE AS IT PERTAINS TO EARLY ROLLOVERS OF UNIT INVESTMENT TRUSTS (UIT). THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM'S WSPS REFERENCED A UIT SWITCH LETTER THAT REPRESENTATIVES COULD USE WHEN A CLIENT SOLD A POSITION IN A UIT BEFORE MATURITY TO PURCHASE ANOTHER UIT OR MUTUAL FUND. THE PURPOSE OF THE SWITCH LETTER WAS TO CONFIRM A CUSTOMER'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE TRANSACTION SWITCH AS WELL AS THE RELATED RISKS AND EXPENSES. NONETHELESS, THE WSPS DID NOT PROVIDE GUIDANCE ABOUT WHEN SWITCH LETTERS SHOULD BE SENT OR HOW FIRM SUPERVISORS SHOULD MONITOR FOR POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE PATTERNS OF EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS. THE FIRM USED AN AUTOMATED SURVEILLANCE ALERT TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL SWITCHES BETWEEN UITS AND MUTUAL FUNDS (THE SWITCH ALERT). HOWEVER, THE SWITCH ALERT FAILED TO FLAG UIT SWITCHES. THE FIRM DISCOVERED THAT THE SWITCH ALERT DID NOT IDENTIFY SWITCHES FROM ONE UIT TO ANOTHER. DESPITE THIS KNOWLEDGE, THE FIRM DID NOT INFORM ITS BRANCH MANAGERS THAT THE SWITCH ALERT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED. THE FIRM LATER DEVELOPED AN ALTERNATIVE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM TO FLAG UIT-TO-UIT SWITCHES. HOWEVER, THAT ALERT WAS NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED TO DETECT UNSUITABLE UIT SWITCHES BECAUSE IT ONLY FLAGGED UITS THAT WERE HELD FOR LESS THAN A YEAR EVEN IF THE UIT HAD A LONG-TERM MATURITY DATE. FURTHERMORE, THE ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM LATER STOPPED FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED, BUT THE FIRM DID NOT DISCOVER THAT FACT UNTIL A LATER DATE. AS A RESULT, ALTHOUGH THE FIRM SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED THE SWITCH ALERT, ITS COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT CONTINUED TO USE THE FIRM'S ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY UIT SWITCHES. THE FIRM FAILED TO IDENTIFY THAT ITS REPRESENTATIVES RECOMMENDED POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS, INCLUDING SERIES-TO-SERIES ROLLOVERS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED CUSTOMERS TO INCUR $1,891,188.13 IN SALES CHARGES THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE INCURRED HAD THEY HELD THE UITS UNTIL THEIR MATURITY DATES. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM SENT SWITCH LETTERS TO CUSTOMERS THAT CONTAINED INACCURATE OR MISSING INFORMATION ABOUT THE COSTS THAT THEY INCURRED AS A RESULT OF EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS. THE FIRM DID NOT VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN CERTAIN OF THE SWITCH LETTERS, APART FROM AD HOC REVIEWS CONDUCTED AS PART OF THE FIRM'S BRANCH INSPECTION PROGRAM. CERTAIN UIT SWITCH LETTERS UNDERSTATED THE SALES CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWITCH, AND OTHERS DID NOT LIST ANY SALES CHARGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW UIT PURCHASED BY THE CUSTOMER, EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCHES RESULTED IN THE CUSTOMERS INCURRING NEW SALES CHARGES. COLLECTIVELY, THE SWITCH LETTERS DISCLOSED SALES CHARGES OF APPROXIMATELY $330,440, WHEN THE ACTUAL SALES CHARGES INCURRED BY CUSTOMERS WERE MORE THAN $1,249,052. 8. Current Status? Pending On Appeal Final 9. If on appeal, regulatory action appealed to (SEC, SRO, Federal or State Court) and Date Appeal Filed: If Final or On Appeal, complete all items below. For Pending Actions, complete Item 13 only. 10. How was matter resolved: Acceptance, Waiver & Consent(AWC) 11. Resolution Date (MM/DD/YYYY): 05/28/2020 Exact Explanation If not exact, provide explanation: 12. Resolution Detail: A. Were any of the following Sanctions Ordered (check all appropriate items)? Monetary/Fine Amount: $ 1,750,000.00 Revocation/Expulsion/Denial Disgorgement/Restitution Censure Cease and Desist/Injunction Bar Suspension B. Other Sanctions Ordered: Sanction detail: if suspended, enjoined or barred, provide duration including start date and capacities affected (General Securities Principal, Financial Operations Principal, etc.). If requalification by exam/retraining was a condition of the sanction, provide length of time given to requalify/retrain, type of exam required and whether condition has been satisfied. If disposition resulted in a fine, penalty, restitution, disgorgement or monetary compensation, provide total amount, portion levied against you or an advisory affiliate, date paid and if any portion of penalty was waived: THE FIRM WAS CENSURED, FINED $1,750,000, AND ORDERED TO PAY $1,891,188.13, PLUS INTEREST, IN RESTITUTION TO CUSTOMERS. 13. Provide a brief summary of details related to the action status and (or) disposition and include relevant terms, conditions and dates (your response must fit within the space provided). IN MAY OF 2020 THE FIRM ENTERED INTO A LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE, WAIVER AND CONSENT (AWC) WITH FINRA WHEREBY THE FIRM, WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING ANY SPECIFIC FINDINGS, CONSENTED TO FINDINGS THAT THE FROM JANUARY 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 2016 THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AND ENFORCE WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES (WSPS) THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRAS SUITABILITY RULE AS IT PERTAINS TO EARLY ROLLOVERS OF UNIT INVESTMENT TRUSTS. AS A RESULT THE FIRM VIOLATED NASD RULE 3010; FINRA RULE 3110 AND FINRA RULE 2010. ADDITIONALLY, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO A FURTHER VIOLATION OF FINRA RULE 2010 IN CONNECTION WITH THE SENDING OF "SWITCH LETTERS" TO CUSTOMERS CONTAINING INACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COSTS THEY INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF EARLY UIT ROLLOVERS. THE FIRM AGREES TO PAY A FINE OF $1.75 MILLION AND RESTITUTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,891,188.13, PLUS INTEREST. THE FINRA STAFF DID NOT REQUIRE ANY REMEDIAL UNDERTAKINGS BY THE FIRM IN THE AWC. THE FIRM HAS IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS ENHANCEMENTS TO ITS SUPERVISION AND COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT OF EARLY ROLLOVERS OF UITS WHICH IT BELIEVES ADDRESSES THE ALLEGED DEFICIENCIES IDENTIFIED BY FINRA. THOSE ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE IMPLEMENTATION OF A SWITCH ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR EARLY ROLLOVERS, A RISK-BASED APPROACH OF COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT FOR EARLY ROLLOVER ACTIVITY AND A PERIODIC "LOOKBACK" BY THE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY ROLLOVER ACTIVITY BY SELECTED FINANCIAL ADVISORS.

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT FAILED TO ESTABLISH, DOCUMENT, AND MAINTAIN A SYSTEM OF RISK MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES REASONABLY DESIGNED TO MANAGE THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF ITS MARKET ACCESS BUSINESS ACTIVITY. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM IMPLEMENTED WITHIN ONE OF ITS ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (OMSS) A HARD BLOCK CONTROL TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS EXCEEDING 200 PERCENT OF THE 20-DAY AVERAGE DAILY VOLUME (ADV) IN A SECURITY. THE FIRM WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE BASIS FOR THE 200 PERCENT THRESHOLD OR PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE ADV CONTROL WAS SET AT A REASONABLE LEVEL TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ERRONEOUS ORDERS. THE FIRM LATER LOWERED ITS ADV CONTROL, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION DEMONSTRATING THAT THE CONTROL WAS SET AT A REASONABLE LEVEL TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ERRONEOUS ORDERS. IN ADDITION, WITHIN ITS OMSS, THE FIRM EMPLOYED SINGLE ORDER VOLUME (SOV) CONTROLS AND SINGLE ORDER MAXIMUM NOTIONAL VALUE CONTROLS BUT DID NOT SUFFICIENTLY DOCUMENT THAT THEY ACCOUNTED FOR THE TRADING CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES OR THE TRADING HISTORY OF ITS CUSTOMERS. THE FIRM ALSO HAD AN ORDER RATE LIMIT CONTROL IN ITS OMSS THAT BLOCKED ORDERS THAT BREACHED THE FIRM'S ADV, SOV OR MAX NOTIONAL CONTROLS NOTED ABOVE, BUT OVER A 30- SECOND WINDOW. BECAUSE OF THE DEFICIENCIES WITH THE FIRM'S ADV, SOV AND MAX NOTIONAL CONTROLS, THE ORDER RATE LIMIT CONTROL WAS SIMILARLY NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM'S WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES REGARDING CREDIT CONTROL BLOCKS WERE NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR TRADING ON MORE THAN ONE OMS. THE FIRM LATER AMENDED ITS PROCEDURES TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS SETTING CUSTOMER CREDIT LIMITS ACROSS MULTIPLE OMSS. AS A RESULT OF THE FOREGOING, THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS THAT EXCEED APPROPRIATE PRE-SET CREDIT OR CAPITAL THRESHOLDS IN THE AGGREGATE FOR EACH CUSTOMER AND THE BROKER OR DEALER. THE FINDINGS ALSO INCLUDED THAT THE FIRM DID NOT HAVE CONTROLS TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS SOLICITED FROM INSTITUTIONAL CUSTOMERS IN RESTRICTED SECURITIES. AS A RESULT OF THE FORGOING, THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A SYSTEM OF RISK MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS THAT DID NOT COMPLY WITH REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

Use a separate DRP for each event or proceeding . The same event or proceeding may be reported for more than one person or entity using one DRP. File with a completed Execution Page. One event may result in more than one affirmative answer to Items 11.C., 11.D., 11.E., 11.F. or 11.G. Use only one DRP to report details related to the same event. If an event gives rise to actions by more than one regulator, provide details for each action on a separate DRP. PART I A. The person(s) or entity(ies) for whom this DRP is being filed is (are): You (the advisory firm) You and one or more of your advisory affiliates One or more of your advisory affiliates If this DRP is being filed for an advisory affiliate, give the full name of the advisory affiliate below (for individuals, Last name, First name, Middle name). If the advisory affiliate has a CRD number, provide that number. If not, indicate "non-registered" by checking the appropriate box. ADV DRP - ADVISORY AFFILIATE No Information Filed This DRP should be removed from the ADV record because the advisory affiliate(s) is no longer associated with the adviser. This DRP should be removed from the ADV record because: (1) the event or proceeding occurred more than ten years ago or (2) the adviser is registered or applying for registration with the SEC or reporting as an exempt reporting adviser with the SEC and the event was resolved in the adviser's or advisory affiliate's favor. If you are registered or registering with a state securities authority , you may remove a DRP for an event you reported only in response to Item 11.D(4), and only if that event occurred more than ten years ago. If you are registered or registering with the SEC, you may remove a DRP for any event listed in Item 11 that occurred more than ten years ago. This DRP should be removed from the ADV record because it was filed in error, such as due to a clerical or data-entry mistake. Explain the circumstances: B. If the advisory affiliate is registered through the IARD system or CRD system, has the advisory affiliate submitted a DRP (with Form ADV, BD or U-4) to the IARD or CRD for the event? If the answer is "Yes," no other information on this DRP must be provided. Yes No NOTE: The completion of this form does not relieve the advisory affiliate of its obligation to update its IARD or CRD records. PART II 1. Regulatory Action initiated by: SEC Other Federal State SRO Foreign (Full name of regulator, foreign financial regulatory authority, federal, state, or SRO) NYSE 2. Principal Sanction: Other Sanctions: 3. Date Initiated (MM/DD/YYYY): 06/13/2022 Exact Explanation If not exact, provide explanation: 4. Docket/Case Number: 2015045823201 5. Advisory Affiliate Employing Firm when activity occurred which led to the regulatory action (if applicable): 6. Principal Product Type: Other Other Product Types: UNSPECIFIED SECURITIES 7. Describe the allegations related to this regulatory action (your response must fit within the space provided): WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT FAILED TO ESTABLISH, DOCUMENT, AND MAINTAIN A SYSTEM OF RISK MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES REASONABLY DESIGNED TO MANAGE THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF ITS MARKET ACCESS BUSINESS ACTIVITY. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM IMPLEMENTED WITHIN ONE OF ITS ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (OMSS) A HARD BLOCK CONTROL TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS EXCEEDING 200 PERCENT OF THE 20-DAY AVERAGE DAILY VOLUME (ADV) IN A SECURITY. THE FIRM WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE BASIS FOR THE 200 PERCENT THRESHOLD OR PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE ADV CONTROL WAS SET AT A REASONABLE LEVEL TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ERRONEOUS ORDERS. THE FIRM LATER LOWERED ITS ADV CONTROL, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION DEMONSTRATING THAT THE CONTROL WAS SET AT A REASONABLE LEVEL TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ERRONEOUS ORDERS. IN ADDITION, WITHIN ITS OMSS, THE FIRM EMPLOYED SINGLE ORDER VOLUME (SOV) CONTROLS AND SINGLE ORDER MAXIMUM NOTIONAL VALUE CONTROLS BUT DID NOT SUFFICIENTLY DOCUMENT THAT THEY ACCOUNTED FOR THE TRADING CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES OR THE TRADING HISTORY OF ITS CUSTOMERS. THE FIRM ALSO HAD AN ORDER RATE LIMIT CONTROL IN ITS OMSS THAT BLOCKED ORDERS THAT BREACHED THE FIRM'S ADV, SOV OR MAX NOTIONAL CONTROLS NOTED ABOVE, BUT OVER A 30- SECOND WINDOW. BECAUSE OF THE DEFICIENCIES WITH THE FIRM'S ADV, SOV AND MAX NOTIONAL CONTROLS, THE ORDER RATE LIMIT CONTROL WAS SIMILARLY NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM'S WRITTEN SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES REGARDING CREDIT CONTROL BLOCKS WERE NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR TRADING ON MORE THAN ONE OMS. THE FIRM LATER AMENDED ITS PROCEDURES TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS SETTING CUSTOMER CREDIT LIMITS ACROSS MULTIPLE OMSS. AS A RESULT OF THE FOREGOING, THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS THAT EXCEED APPROPRIATE PRE-SET CREDIT OR CAPITAL THRESHOLDS IN THE AGGREGATE FOR EACH CUSTOMER AND THE BROKER OR DEALER. THE FINDINGS ALSO INCLUDED THAT THE FIRM DID NOT HAVE CONTROLS TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS SOLICITED FROM INSTITUTIONAL CUSTOMERS IN RESTRICTED SECURITIES. AS A RESULT OF THE FORGOING, THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A SYSTEM OF RISK MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES THAT WERE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF ORDERS THAT DID NOT COMPLY WITH REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. THEREFORE, THE FIRM VIOLATED EXCHANGE ACT § 15(C) (3), RULES 15C3-5(B), 15C3-5(C)(1)(I), 15C3-5(C)(1)(II), 15C3-5(C)(2) THEREUNDER, AND NYSE RULE 3110(A) AND (B). 8. Current Status?

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT FAILED TO ESTABLISH A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM REASONABLY DESIGNED TO REVIEW AND MONITOR THE TRANSMITTAL OF CUSTOMER FUNDS WHEN A BROKER HAD POWER OF ATTORNEY OVER A CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT AND FAILED TO REASONABLY FOLLOW UP ON RED FLAGS CONCERNING A BROKER OF THEIRS. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE BROKER WAS THE POWER OF ATTORNEY ON THE BROKERAGE ACCOUNT OF A SENIOR CUSTOMER, WHICH PROVIDED HIM THE AUTHORITY TO WRITE CHECKS ON THE CUSTOMER'S BEHALF. THE BROKER CONVERTED AT LEAST $105,000 FROM THE CUSTOMER BY WRITING CHECKS ON HER ACCOUNT THAT HE MADE PAYABLE TO HIMSELF OR TO A BANK ACCOUNT THAT HE CONTROLLED. THE FIRM LATER CEASED GRANTING EXCEPTIONS TO ITS PROHIBITION ON BROKERS FROM SERVING AS POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR A NON-FAMILY MEMBER ACCOUNT AND MEMORIALIZED ITS PROHIBITION WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS AND FULLY REIMBURSED THE CUSTOMERS ESTATE FOR THE BROKER'S MISCONDUCT. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY FOLLOW UP ON RED FLAGS OF UNSUITABLE TRADING BY A DIFFERENT BROKER IN OPTIONS AND A HIGH-RISK MICROCAP SECURITY. THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY RESPOND TO CERTAIN ALERTS CONTAINED IN REPORTS THAT THE BROKER'S OPTIONS TRADES WERE POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE. THE BROKER RECOMMENDED MORE THAN 100 SPECULATIVE OPTIONS TRADES IN ONE OF THE BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS OF THE CUSTOMER, WHO WAS A 64-YEAR-OLD RETIREE WITH NO OPTIONS EXPERIENCE OR KNOWLEDGE, CAUSING THE ACCOUNT TO LOSE NEARLY 80 PERCENT OF ITS FUNDS. THE FIRM WAS AWARE OF THE VOLUME OF OPTIONS TRADING AND DISCUSSED THE TRADING IN THE ACCOUNT WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TRADING GENERATED MORE THAN 10 ALERTS, THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE TRADING WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE CUSTOMER'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND RISK TOLERANCE. INSTEAD, THE FIRM APPROVED A CHANGE IN THE CUSTOMER'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES FROM "GROWTH AND INCOME" TO "SPECULATIVE/ACTIVE TRADING/COMPLEX STRATEGIES" BASED ON BROKER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND SUPPRESSED SEVERAL SUBSEQUENT OPTIONS ALERTS INVOLVING THE CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT. AN ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER OF THE BROKER WITH NO OPTIONS EXPERIENCE, A GROWTH AND INCOME OBJECTIVE, AND A MODERATE RISK TOLERANCE WAS RECOMMENDED CALL OPTIONS THAT RESULTED IN $27,745.94 IN LOSSES. THE FIRM ALSO FAILED TO REASONABLY RESPOND TO RED FLAGS OF THIS BROKER'S UNSUITABLE RECOMMENDATIONS OF A HIGH-RISK MICROCAP SECURITY. THE BROKER RECOMMENDED A STOCK TO ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS THAT HAD FALLEN SUBSTANTIALLY PRIOR TO THE PURCHASES DUE TO (AMONG OTHER THINGS) SUBSTANTIAL DOUBTS BEING RAISED IN PUBLIC REPORTS ABOUT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. AFTER EXCESSIVE COMMISSION ALERTS WERE GENERATED REGARDING SOME OF THESE TRADES, THE FIRM NOTED THAT BROKER WAS PURCHASING A "COLLAPSING EQUITY" AND FLAGGED THIS TRADING ACTIVITY FOR FURTHER MONITORING; YET THE FIRM FAILED TO TAKE STEPS OTHER THAN ASKING THE BROKER ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS' KNOWLEDGE OF AND COMFORT WITH THE PURCHASES. THE BROKER CONTINUED TO RECOMMEND ADDITIONAL PURCHASES OF THE STOCK AS THE PRICE CONTINUED TO FALL AND THE CUSTOMERS HAD INCURRED REALIZED LOSSES OF $53,498 DUE TO THIS TRADING.

Use a separate DRP for each event or proceeding . The same event or proceeding may be reported for more than one person or entity using one DRP. File with a completed Execution Page. One event may result in more than one affirmative answer to Items 11.C., 11.D., 11.E., 11.F. or 11.G. Use only one DRP to report details related to the same event. If an event gives rise to actions by more than one regulator, provide details for each action on a separate DRP. PART I A. The person(s) or entity(ies) for whom this DRP is being filed is (are): You (the advisory firm) You and one or more of your advisory affiliates One or more of your advisory affiliates If this DRP is being filed for an advisory affiliate, give the full name of the advisory affiliate below (for individuals, Last name, First name, Middle name). If the advisory affiliate has a CRD number, provide that number. If not, indicate "non-registered" by checking the appropriate box. ADV DRP - ADVISORY AFFILIATE No Information Filed This DRP should be removed from the ADV record because the advisory affiliate(s) is no longer associated with the adviser. This DRP should be removed from the ADV record because: (1) the event or proceeding occurred more than ten years ago or (2) the adviser is registered or applying for registration with the SEC or reporting as an exempt reporting adviser with the SEC and the event was resolved in the adviser's or advisory affiliate's favor. If you are registered or registering with a state securities authority , you may remove a DRP for an event you reported only in response to Item 11.D(4), and only if that event occurred more than ten years ago. If you are registered or registering with the SEC, you may remove a DRP for any event listed in Item 11 that occurred more than ten years ago. This DRP should be removed from the ADV record because it was filed in error, such as due to a clerical or data-entry mistake. Explain the circumstances: B. If the advisory affiliate is registered through the IARD system or CRD system, has the advisory affiliate submitted a DRP (with Form ADV, BD or U-4) to the IARD or CRD for the event? If the answer is "Yes," no other information on this DRP must be provided. Yes No NOTE: The completion of this form does not relieve the advisory affiliate of its obligation to update its IARD or CRD records. PART II 1. Regulatory Action initiated by: SEC Other Federal State SRO Foreign (Full name of regulator, foreign financial regulatory authority, federal, state, or SRO) FINRA 2. Principal Sanction: Other Sanctions: 3. Date Initiated (MM/DD/YYYY): 03/15/2024 Exact Explanation If not exact, provide explanation: 4. Docket/Case Number: 2019062348302 5. Advisory Affiliate Employing Firm when activity occurred which led to the regulatory action (if applicable): 6. Principal Product Type: No Product Other Product Types: 7. Describe the allegations related to this regulatory action (your response must fit within the space provided): WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT FAILED TO ESTABLISH A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM REASONABLY DESIGNED TO REVIEW AND MONITOR THE TRANSMITTAL OF CUSTOMER FUNDS WHEN A BROKER HAD POWER OF ATTORNEY OVER A CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT AND FAILED TO REASONABLY FOLLOW UP ON RED FLAGS CONCERNING A BROKER OF THEIRS. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE BROKER WAS THE POWER OF ATTORNEY ON THE BROKERAGE ACCOUNT OF A SENIOR CUSTOMER, WHICH PROVIDED HIM THE AUTHORITY TO WRITE CHECKS ON THE CUSTOMER'S BEHALF. THE BROKER CONVERTED AT LEAST $105,000 FROM THE CUSTOMER BY WRITING CHECKS ON HER ACCOUNT THAT HE MADE PAYABLE TO HIMSELF OR TO A BANK ACCOUNT THAT HE CONTROLLED. THE FIRM LATER CEASED GRANTING EXCEPTIONS TO ITS PROHIBITION ON BROKERS FROM SERVING AS POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR A NON-FAMILY MEMBER ACCOUNT AND MEMORIALIZED ITS PROHIBITION WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS AND FULLY REIMBURSED THE CUSTOMERS ESTATE FOR THE BROKER'S MISCONDUCT. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY FOLLOW UP ON RED FLAGS OF UNSUITABLE TRADING BY A DIFFERENT BROKER IN OPTIONS AND A HIGH-RISK MICROCAP SECURITY. THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY RESPOND TO CERTAIN ALERTS CONTAINED IN REPORTS THAT THE BROKER'S OPTIONS TRADES WERE POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE. THE BROKER RECOMMENDED MORE THAN 100 SPECULATIVE OPTIONS TRADES IN ONE OF THE BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS OF THE CUSTOMER, WHO WAS A 64-YEAR-OLD RETIREE WITH NO OPTIONS EXPERIENCE OR KNOWLEDGE, CAUSING THE ACCOUNT TO LOSE NEARLY 80 PERCENT OF ITS FUNDS. THE FIRM WAS AWARE OF THE VOLUME OF OPTIONS TRADING AND DISCUSSED THE TRADING IN THE ACCOUNT WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TRADING GENERATED MORE THAN 10 ALERTS, THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE TRADING WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE CUSTOMER'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND RISK TOLERANCE. INSTEAD, THE FIRM APPROVED A CHANGE IN THE CUSTOMER'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES FROM "GROWTH AND INCOME" TO "SPECULATIVE/ACTIVE TRADING/COMPLEX STRATEGIES" BASED ON BROKER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND SUPPRESSED SEVERAL SUBSEQUENT OPTIONS ALERTS INVOLVING THE CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT. AN ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER OF THE BROKER WITH NO OPTIONS EXPERIENCE, A GROWTH AND INCOME OBJECTIVE, AND A MODERATE RISK TOLERANCE WAS RECOMMENDED CALL OPTIONS THAT RESULTED IN $27,745.94 IN LOSSES. THE FIRM ALSO FAILED TO REASONABLY RESPOND TO RED FLAGS OF THIS BROKER'S UNSUITABLE RECOMMENDATIONS OF A HIGH-RISK MICROCAP SECURITY. THE BROKER RECOMMENDED A STOCK TO ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS THAT HAD FALLEN SUBSTANTIALLY PRIOR TO THE PURCHASES DUE TO (AMONG OTHER THINGS) SUBSTANTIAL DOUBTS BEING RAISED IN PUBLIC REPORTS ABOUT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. AFTER EXCESSIVE COMMISSION ALERTS WERE GENERATED REGARDING SOME OF THESE TRADES, THE FIRM NOTED THAT BROKER WAS PURCHASING A "COLLAPSING EQUITY" AND FLAGGED THIS TRADING ACTIVITY FOR FURTHER MONITORING; YET THE FIRM FAILED TO TAKE STEPS OTHER THAN ASKING THE BROKER ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS' KNOWLEDGE OF AND COMFORT WITH THE PURCHASES. THE BROKER CONTINUED TO RECOMMEND ADDITIONAL PURCHASES OF THE STOCK AS THE PRICE CONTINUED TO FALL AND THE CUSTOMERS HAD INCURRED REALIZED LOSSES OF $53,498 DUE TO THIS TRADING. 8. Current Status? Pending On Appeal Final 9. If on appeal, regulatory action appealed to (SEC, SRO, Federal or State Court) and Date Appeal Filed: If Final or On Appeal, complete all items below. For Pending Actions, complete Item 13 only. 10. How was matter resolved: Acceptance, Waiver & Consent(AWC) 11. Resolution Date (MM/DD/YYYY): 03/15/2024 Exact Explanation If not exact, provide explanation: 12. Resolution Detail: A. Were any of the following Sanctions Ordered (check all appropriate items)? Monetary/Fine Amount: $ 400,000.00 Revocation/Expulsion/Denial Disgorgement/Restitution Censure Cease and Desist/Injunction Bar Suspension B. Other Sanctions Ordered: PLUS INTEREST Sanction detail: if suspended, enjoined or barred, provide duration including start date and capacities affected (General Securities Principal, Financial Operations Principal, etc.). If requalification by exam/retraining was a condition of the sanction, provide length of time given to requalify/retrain, type of exam required and whether condition has been satisfied. If disposition resulted in a fine, penalty, restitution, disgorgement or monetary compensation, provide total amount, portion levied against you or an advisory affiliate, date paid and if any portion of penalty was waived: THE FIRM WAS CENSURED, FINED $400,000, AND ORDERED TO PAY $59,360.43 IN RESTITUTION TO CUSTOMERS, PLUS INTEREST 13.

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRMS CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT THEY FAILED TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND ENFORCE A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM, INCLUDING WSPS, REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR SUITABILITY OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH NON-TRADITIONAL EXCHANGE-TRADED PRODUCT (NT-ETP) TRANSACTIONS. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT ALTHOUGH THE FIRMS REVISED THEIR WSPS FOLLOWING A PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AWC, THE WSPS STILL FAILED TO PROVIDE REASONABLE GUIDANCE ABOUT HOW TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE NT-ETP RECOMMENDATIONS. THE WSPS DID NOT REQUIRE SUPERVISORS TO TAKE ANY ACTION TO ASSESS WHETHER NT-ETP RECOMMENDATIONS, INCLUDING RECOMMENDED EXIT OR HOLD STRATEGIES, WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENDED HOLDING PERIODS IDENTIFIED IN THE PRODUCTS' PROSPECTUSES. IN ADDITION, THE FIRMS' SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE NT-ETP RECOMMENDATIONS WAS NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED. IN RESPONSE TO THE PREVIOUS AWC, THE FIRMS IMPLEMENTED A NEW AUTOMATED ALERT THAT WAS DESIGNED TO FLAG, FOR SUPERVISORY REVIEW, ALL NT-ETP POSITIONS THAT HAD BEEN HELD FOR LONGER THAN 30 DAYS. HOWEVER, THE FIRMS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DEACTIVATED THE ALERT AFTER IT RESULTED IN OVER 2,000 HITS PER DAY. EVEN AFTER THE FIRMS REACTIVATED THE ALERT, SUPERVISORS HAD BROAD DISCRETION TO RESOLVE THE ALERTS, BUT THE FIRMS DID NOT PROVIDE SUPERVISORS WITH ANY TRAINING ON HOW TO EVALUATE THE RED FLAGS PRESENTED BY THE LONG HOLDING PERIODS. AS A RESULT, SUPERVISORS ROUTINELY CLEARED THE 30-DAY HOLDING-PERIOD ALERTS WITHOUT ANY ANALYSIS OF THE SUITABILITY OF THE UNDERLYING NT-ETP RECOMMENDATIONS THAT LED TO THE ALERTS. FURTHER, IN RESPONSE TO DISCOVERING THAT REPRESENTATIVES WERE ROUTINELY RECOMMENDING LONG-TERM HOLDING PERIODS FOR NT-ETPS, THE FIRMS' COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT INSTITUTED A CLEAN-UP EFFORT THAT INVOLVED TRACKING NT-ETP POSITIONS HELD FOR MORE THAN 30 CALENDAR DAYS AND ENCOURAGING (BUT NOT REQUIRING) SUPERVISORS TO SPEAK WITH REPRESENTATIVES AND CUSTOMERS ABOUT SELLING AGED POSITIONS. HOWEVER, THE CLEAN-UP WAS NOT SUFFICIENT IN CERTAIN INSTANCES TO PREVENT REPRESENTATIVES FROM CONTINUING TO RECOMMEND A STRATEGY OF BUYING AND THEN HOLDING THESE PRODUCTS FOR PERIODS WELL BEYOND THE PERIODS IDENTIFIED IN THE PRODUCTS' PROSPECTUSES. AS A RESULT OF THESE SUPERVISORY FAILURES, THE FIRMS FAILED TO DETECT OR ADDRESS HUNDREDS OF OCCASIONS IN WHICH THE FIRMS' REPRESENTATIVES RECOMMENDED THAT CUSTOMERS BUY AND THEN HOLD NT-ETPS FOR POTENTIALLY UNSUITABLE PERIODS. SOME OF THE AFFECTED CUSTOMERS WERE SENIORS, AND MANY HAD CONSERVATIVE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES OR MODERATE RISK TOLERANCES. IN TOTAL, THE FIRMS' REPRESENTATIVES RECOMMENDED AT LEAST 438 DAILY-RESET NT-ETP POSITIONS THAT WERE HELD FOR MORE THAN SEVEN DAYS, AND 45 MONTHLY RESET NT-ETPS THAT WERE HELD FOR MORE THAN 60 DAYS. COLLECTIVELY, THESE TRANSACTIONS RESULTED IN REALIZED CUSTOMER LOSSES OF $1,289,937.17 IN ACCOUNTS.

THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ("COMMISSION") DEEMS IT APPROPRIATE AND IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST THAT PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE AND CEASE-AND-DESIST PROCEEDINGS BE, AND HEREBY ARE, INSTITUTED AGAINST STIFEL, NICOLAUS & COMPANY, INC. ("STIFEL" OR "RESPONDENT"). IN ANTICIPATION OF THE INSTITUTION OF THESE PROCEEDINGS, RESPONDENT HAS SUBMITTED AN OFFER OF SETTLEMENT THAT THE COMMISSION HAS DETERMINED TO ACCEPT. THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT FROM AT LEAST JANUARY 2020 (THE "RELEVANT PERIOD"), STIFEL PERSONNEL SENT AND RECEIVED OFF-CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS THAT RELATED TO ITS BROKER-DEALER BUSINESS. ADDITIONALLY, DURING THE RELEVANT PERIOD, STIFEL PERSONNEL SENT AND RECEIVED OFF-CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS RELATED TO THE INVESTMENT ADVISER'S RECEIPT, DISBURSEMENT OR DELIVERY OF FUNDS OR SECURITIES. STIFEL DID NOT MAINTAIN OR PRESERVE THE SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY OF THESE WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS. STIFEL'S FAILURE WAS FIRM-WIDE AND INVOLVED PERSONNEL AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF AUTHORITY. STIFEL'S SUPERVISORS, WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISING JUNIOR PERSONNEL, ROUTINELY COMMUNICATED OFF-CHANNEL USING THEIR PERSONAL DEVICES. IN FACT, SENIOR PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISING JUNIOR PERSONNEL THEMSELVES FAILED TO COMPLY WITH STIFEL'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES BY COMMUNICATING, THROUGH NON-APPROVED METHODS, ON THEIR PERSONAL DEVICES ABOUT RESPONDENT'S BUSINESS. STIFEL'S WIDESPREAD FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT PROHIBIT SUCH COMMUNICATIONS LED TO ITS FAILURE TO REASONABLY SUPERVISE ITS PERSONNEL WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 15(B)(4)(E) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT AND SECTION 203(E)(6) OF THE ADVISERS ACT. DURING THE RELEVANT PERIOD, STIFEL RECEIVED AND RESPONDED TO COMMISSION SUBPOENAS FOR DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS REQUESTS IN VARIOUS COMMISSION INVESTIGATIONS. AS A RESULT, STIFEL'S RECORDKEEPING FAILURES LIKELY IMPACTED THE COMMISSION'S ABILITY TO CARRY OUT ITS REGULATORY FUNCTIONS AND INVESTIGATE VIOLATIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS ACROSS THESE INVESTIGATIONS. THE COMMISSION STAFF UNCOVERED STIFEL'S MISCONDUCT AFTER COMMENCING A RISK BASED INITIATIVE TO INVESTIGATE THE USE OF OFF-CHANNEL AND UNPRESERVED COMMUNICATIONS AT BROKER DEALERS AND REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISERS.

FINDINGS THAT IT VIOLATED RULE 606(A) OF REGULATION NMS BY PUBLISHING 16 INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE INFORMATION IN ITS RULE 606 REPORTS. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE REPORTS INACCURATELY DISCLOSED THE NET AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF PAYMENT FOR ORDER FLOW RECEIVED BY THE FIRM, PAYMENT RECEIVED BY THE FIRM RELATED TO PROFIT-SHARING RELATIONSHIPS, TRANSACTION FEES PAID BY THE FIRM, AND TRANSACTION REBATES RECEIVED BY THE FIRM. ADDITIONALLY, IN 11 QUARTERLY RULE 606 REPORTS, THE FIRM MISIDENTIFIED THREE BROKER- DEALERS AS EXECUTION VENUES WHICH DID NOT QUALITY AS EXECUTION VENUES FOR PURPOSES OF RULE 606 REPORTING. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM, INCLUDING WSPS, REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 606(A). THE FIRM RETAINED A THIRD-PARTY VENDOR TO PREPARE ITS RULE 606 REPORTS, USING DATA PROVIDED BY THE FIRM TO GENERATE STATISTICAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ROUTING OF CUSTOMER ORDERS. HOWEVER, THE FIRM'S WSPS DID NOT REQUIRE, AND THE FIRM DID NOT CONDUCT, ANY REVIEW TO ENSURE THAT THE DATA PROVIDED TO THE VENDOR WAS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE. THE FIRM ALSO HAD NO SUPERVISORY SYSTEM OR WSPS REQUIRING REVIEW OF THE MATERIAL ASPECTS DISCLOSURES IN ITS RULE 606 REPORTS BEFORE THEY WERE PUBLISHED. THE FIRM'S WSPS DID NOT REQUIRE THE FIRM TO REVIEW ITS RULE 606 REPORTS AFTER THEY WERE PUBLISHED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH THE DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 606(A). THE FIRM HAS UPDATED ITS SUPERVISORY SYSTEM RELATED TO RULE 606 REPORTING, INCLUDING BY ESTABLISHING SUPERVISORY REVIEWS OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE VENDOR AND PUBLISHED IN THE FIRM'S RULE 606 REPORTS AND UPDATED ITS WSPS TO REFLECT THESE NEW PROCEDURES.
