Newbridge Securities Fined for Bond Transaction Issues

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law Offices:

FINRA has fined Newbridge Securities Corporation for violating various rules relating to corporate bond transactions and customer trading activities.

According to FINRA:

  • In 31 transactions in 2009, Newbridge bought and sold corporate bonds and charged unfair prices.
  • The firm’s supervisory system did not provide for supervision reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations, concerning bond transactions with customers.
  • In 50 instances in 2010, Newbridge failed to execute orders fully and promptly and in 18 of those transactions Newbridge failed to use reasonable diligence to obtain the best price for the customer.
  • Newbridge, on 63 occasions, provided written information to customers that failed to disclose information or disclosed inaccurate information.

For those violations, FINRA fined Newbridge $138,000.

I learned two important things working with Eccleston Law. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
