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.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  We felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim’s team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog’s bark like Jim’s. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.
