For a second time, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. has censured and fined Cambridge Investment Research over problems with its supervision of sales of unit investment trusts (UITs).
Finra imposed a fine of $150,000 for failing to “establish and maintain a supervisory system,” failing to reasonably supervise short-term trading of UITs and mutual fund Class A shares, and failing to ensure that customers received available mutual fund break-point discounts. The fine and censure covered the period between July 2013 and January 2017.
In April 2015, Cambridge entered into a letter of acceptance, waiver and consent with Finra in which it agreed to a censure and fine of $250,000 for failing to apply “rollover” and exchange discounts to customers with eligible UIT purchases between January 2008 and November 2013.
