Allegedly, Carson violated federal securities laws, breached a contract, breached his fiduciary duty, recommended unsuitable investments, failed to supervise, was negligent, made misrepresentations and omissions, and failed to act in the client’s best interests.

In June 2021, SEC fined Craig Carson $50,000 because he allegedly breached a fiduciary duty to his clients. Allegedly, he recommended UIT units with transactional sales charges when the customer accounts were eligible to purchase fee account unit versions of the UITs that had no transactional sales charges. Additionally, from May 19, 2016, through August 28, 2019, Carson recommended and bought certain mutual funds for Intervest advisory client accounts. Those transactions resulted in front-end sales loads, even though the accounts were eligible to purchase Class A shares without sales loads.
Supposedly, clients collectively paid $378,295.36 in avoidable transaction costs, all of which Intervest International Equities Corporation collected as commissions. Seventy percent of this amount went to Carson. As a result, SEC claimed that Intervest and Carson breached their duty to seek best prices for those transactions, and they failed to disclose conflicts of interest.
Consequently, on top of the fine, SEC censured him and ordered him to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act.
