AWC/2006004122301
The Firm maintained the registrations for individuals employed by or affiliated with hedge funds that were firm customers and that executed trades through the firm but who were not active in the firm’s investment banking or securities business, and did not function otherwise as registered representatives. The firm failed to establish, maintain and enforce an adequate supervisory system and adequate written supervisory procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with FINRA rules to prevent the firm from maintaining the registration of any registered representative who was not actively involved in the firm’s investment banking or securities business and not functioning as a firm representative.
