Soreide Law Group, a Securities Arbitration Law Firm, (888) 760-6552, obtained the following information on FINRA’s website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, July, 2013.”

Bishop, Rosen & Co., Inc. (CRD #1248, New York, New York)

was censured, fined $32,500, ordered to pay $7,613.14, plus interest, in restitution to customers, and required to revise its WSPs concerning fair pricing of municipal securities. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that it purchased municipal securities for its own account from a customer and/or sold municipal securities for its own account to a customer at an aggregate price (including any markdown or markup) that was not fair and reasonable, taking into consideration all relevant factors, including the best judgment of the broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer as to the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transaction and of any securities exchanged or traded in connection with the transaction; the expense involved in effecting the transaction; the fact that the broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer is entitled to a profit; and the total dollar amount of the transaction.

FINRA's findings stated that the firm’s supervisory system did not provide for supervision reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable securities laws, regulations and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) rules concerning fair pricing of municipal securities.
(FINRA Case #2011028510401)
