Missouri Firm Fined and Censured by FINRA Over Sale of Non-Traditional ETFs

Moloney Securities Co., Inc. (CRD #38535, Manchester, Missouri)
was censured and fined $20,000 for allegedly allowing their representatives to recommend and sell non¬traditional ETFs to their clients.

FINRA's report stated that Moloney Securities' Written Supervisory Procedures (WSPs) didn't address the sale or the supervision of non-traditional exchange traded funds (ETFs), and Moloney Securities did not conduct due diligence of non-traditional ETFs before allowing its brokers to recommend and sell them to their clients.

Despite the risk factors of non-traditional ETFs, Moloney Securities did not provide any training of brokers or supervisors.

Moloney Securities, according to the FINRA report, failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system for the sale of non-traditional.
(FINRA Case #2012034271801)

This ends the summation of information from FINRA's website under 'Disciplinary and Other Actions, June, 2014.'
