Enforcement ProceedingsSEC Charges Eight Mutual Fund Directors for Failure to Properly Oversee Asset ValuationThe Securities and Exchange Commission today announced charges against eight former members of the boards of directors overseeing five Memphis, Tenn.-based mutual funds for violating their asset pricing responsibilities under the federal securities laws. The funds, which were invested in some securities backed by subprime mortgages, fraudulently overstated the value of their securities as the housing market was on the brink of financial crisis in 2007. The SEC and other regulators previously charged the funds’ managers with fraud, and the firms later agreed to pay $200 million to settle the charges. Under the securities laws, fund directors are responsible for determining the fair value of fund securities for which market quotations are not readily available. According to the SEC’s order instituting administrative proceedings against the eight directors, they delegated their fair valuation responsibility to a valuation committee without providing meaningful substantive guidance on how fair valuation determinations should be made. The fund directors then made no meaningful effort to learn how fair values were being determined. They received only limited information about the factors involved with the funds’ fair value determinations, and obtained almost no information explaining why particular fair values were assigned to portfolio securities. “Investors rely on board members to establish an accurate process for valuing their mutual fund investments. Otherwise, they are left in the dark about the value of their investments and handicapped in their ability to make informed decisions,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Had the board not abdicated its responsibilities, investors may have stood a better chance of preserving their hard-earned nest assets.” The SEC Enforcement Division’s Asset Management Unit continues to prioritize asset valuation investigations, with recent enforcement actions including charges against three top executives at New York-based KCAP Financial and two executives at former $1 billion hedge fund advisory firm Yorkville Advisors LLC. The eight fund directors named in today’s SEC enforcement action are:
According to the SEC’s order, the eight directors’ failure to fulfill their fair value-related obligations was particularly inexcusable given that fair-valued securities made up the majority of the funds’ net asset values — in most cases more than 60 percent. The mutual funds involved were the RMK High Income Fund, RMK Multi-Sector High Income Fund, RMK Strategic Income Fund, RMK Advantage Income Fund, and Morgan Keegan Select Fund. The SEC Enforcement Division alleges that the directors caused the funds to violate the federal securities laws by failing to adopt and implement meaningful fair valuation methodologies and procedures and failing to maintain internal control over financial reporting. For example, the funds’ valuation procedures did not include any mechanism for identifying and reviewing fair-valued securities whose prices remained unchanged for weeks, months, and even entire quarters. “While it is understood that fund directors typically assign others the daily task of calculating the fair value of each security in a fund’s portfolio, at a minimum they must determine the method, understand the process, and continuously evaluate the appropriateness of the method used,” said William Hicks, Associate Regional Director of the SEC’s Atlanta Regional Office. According to the SEC’s order, the funds’ valuation procedures required that the directors be given explanatory notes for the fair values assigned to securities. However, no such notes were ever provided to the directors, and they never followed up to request such notes or any other specific information about the basis for the assigned fair values. In fact, Morgan Keegan’s Fund Accounting unit, which assigned values to the securities, did not utilize reasonable procedures and often allowed the portfolio manager to arbitrarily set values. As a result, the net asset values of the funds were materially misstated in 2007 from at least March 31 to August 9. Consequently, the prices at which one open-end fund sold, redeemed, and repurchased its shares were inaccurate. Furthermore, other reports and at least one registration statement filed by the funds with the SEC contained net asset values that were materially misstated. The SEC’s order alleges that the fund directors caused the funds’ violations of Rules 22c-1, 30a-3(a) and 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by members of the SEC’s Atlanta Regional Office and the Asset Management Unit. (Press Rel. 2012-259; Rel.

(Rel. 34-68388; File No. 3-15076) Court Enters Final Judgments By Consent Against SEC Defendants Eric Todd Seiden and Kamal AbdallahThe Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on March 30, 2012, the Honorable Kiyo A. Matsumoto, United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of New York, entered a final judgment by consent against Defendant Kamal Abdallah. The final judgment permanently enjoins Abdallah from future violations of Sections 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, prohibits Abdallah from acting as an officer or director of a public company, and bars him from participating in an offering of penny stock. The final judgment also orders Abdallah liable for disgorgement and prejudgment interest totaling $214,963.02, deemed satisfied by the restitution order entered against Abdallah in the parallel criminal action, United States v. Abdallah, 09-cr-717 (JFB) (E.D.N.Y.). On April 16, 2012, Judge Matsumoto modified a June 30, 2011 judgment by consent against Seiden, enjoining him from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and barring Seiden from participating in an offering of penny stock. The judgment also provided that Seiden would pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty as determined by the Court upon motion of the Commission. On April 16, 2012, in view of the restitution order and prison sentence imposed on Seiden in the parallel criminal case, United States v. Seiden, 09-cr-582 (ILG) (E.D.N.Y.), the Commission withdrew its claims against Seiden for disgorgement and a penalty. The Commission’s amended complaint, filed in the Eastern District of New York, alleges that Seiden, a former securities professional, and Abdallah, the former CEO of Universal Property Development & Acquisition Corp. (“UPDV”), conspired to create artificial demand for UPDV stock and inflate its stock price. The Amended Complaint charges Seiden with violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Abdallah with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
