Gregory Robert Swenson (CRD #2236695, Lake Forest, Illinois)
was assessed a deferred fine of $75,000 and suspended by FINRA for allegedly making misleading and inaccurate statements to numerous corporate bond dealers while participating in and obtaining allocations of bonds for an unregistered proprietary trading firm.
Through Swenson, his firm placed orders for securities primarily in IPOs for corporate bonds for the unregistered proprietary trading firm. The misleading and inaccurate statements concerned the nature of Swenson’s firm’s business and identity of its customer who was participating in the bond allocations, and its status as a QIB (qualified institutional buyer), and foreign buyer.
FINRA's findings stated that Swenson caused his firm to fail to make required records by accepting orders without creating sufficient order records and by failing to create an account record for the unregistered proprietary trading firm.
The suspension is in effect from February 17, 2015, through February 16, 2017. (FINRA Case #2012033514203)
