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:

  • 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.
