Commission announcementsFee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2014The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) today announced that in fiscal year 2014, the fees that public companies and other issuers pay to register their securities with the Commission will be set at $128.80 per million dollars. The Commission determined this new rate in accordance with procedures required under the securities laws. Accordingly, the Commission consulted with both the Congressional Budget Office and the Office of Management and Budget regarding the annual adjustment. Background The securities laws require the Commission to make annual adjustments to the rates for fees paid under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 13(e) and 14(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Commission must set rates for the fees paid under Section 6(b) to levels that the Commission projects will generate collections equal to annual statutory target amounts. The statutory target amount for fiscal year 2014 is $485 million. The annual adjustment to the fee rate under Section 6(b) also sets the annual adjustment to the fee rates under Sections 13(e) and 14(g). Under changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act, the annual rate changes for fees paid under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 13(e) and 14(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must take effect on the first day of each fiscal year. Therefore, effective Oct. 1, 2013, the Section 6(b) fee rate applicable to the registration of securities, the Section 13(e) fee rate applicable to the repurchase of securities, and the Section 14(g) fee rates applicable to proxy solicitations and statements in corporate control transactions will decrease from $136.40 per million dollars to $128.80 per million dollars. The Section 6(b) rate is also the rate used to calculate the fees payable with the Annual Notice of Securities Sold Pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Commission will issue further notices as appropriate to keep the public informed of the effective date of the fee rate changes under Section 6(b), Section 13(e) and Section 14(g). These notices will be posted at the SEC's Internet website at www.sec.gov. (Press Rel. 2013-170; Rel. Nos. 33-9447; 34-70298) ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGSCommission Charges San Diego-Based Investment Adviser in Cherry-Picking and Soft Dollar SchemesThe Commission today announced charges against a San Diego-based investment advisory firm and its president for allegedly steering winning trades to favored clients and lying about how certain money was being spent. The SEC' Enforcement Division alleges that J.S. Oliver Capital Management and Ian O. Mausner engaged in a cherry-picking scheme that awarded more profitable trades to hedge funds in which Mausner and his family had invested. Meanwhile they doled out less profitable trades to other clients, including a widow and a charitable foundation. The disfavored clients suffered approximately $10.7 million in harm. The SEC' Enforcement Division further alleges that Mausner and J.S. Oliver misused soft dollars, which are credits or rebates from a brokerage firm on commissions paid by clients for trades executed in the investment adviser' client accounts. If appropriately disclosed, an investment adviser may retain the soft dollar credits to pay for expenses, including a limited category of brokerage and research services that benefit clients. However, Mausner and J.S. Oliver misappropriated more than $1.1 million in soft dollars for undisclosed purposes that in no way benefited clients, such as a payment to Mausner' ex-wife related to their divorce. "Mausner' fraudulent schemes were a one-two punch that betrayed his clients and cost them millions of dollars," said Marshall S. Sprung, Co-Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division' Asset Management Unit. "Investment advisers must allocate trades and use soft dollars consistent with their fiduciary duty to put client interests first." The SEC also charged Douglas F. Drennan, a portfolio manager at J.S. Oliver, for his role in the soft dollar scheme. According to the SEC' order instituting administrative proceedings, Mausner engaged in the cherry-picking scheme from June 2008 to November 2009 by generally waiting to allocate trades until after the close of trading or the next day. This allowed Mausner to see which securities had appreciated or declined in value, and he gave the more favorably priced securities to the accounts of four J.S. Oliver hedge funds that contained investments from Mausner and his family. Mausner profited by more than $200,000 in fees earned from one of the hedge funds based on the boost in its performance from the winning trades he allocated. Mausner also marketed that same hedge fund to investors by touting the fund' positive returns when in reality those returns merely resulted from the cherry-picking scheme. According to the SEC' order, the soft dollar scheme occurred from January 2009 to November 2011. Mausner and J.S. Oliver failed to disclose the following uses of soft dollars: • More than $300,000 that Mausner owed his ex-wife under their divorce agreement. According to the SEC' order, Drennan participated in the soft dollar scheme by submitting false information to support the misuse of soft dollar credits and approving some of the soft dollar payments to his own company. The SEC' order alleges that J.S. Oliver and Mausner willfully violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and asserts disclosure, compliance, and recordkeeping violations against them. The SEC' order alleges that Drennan willfully aided, abetted, and caused J.S. Oliver' fraud violations in the soft dollar scheme. The SEC' investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Ronnie Lasky and C. Dabney O'Riordan of the Enforcement Division' Asset Management Unit in the Los Angeles Regional Office. The SEC' litigation will be led by David Van Havermaat, John Bulgozdy, and Ms. Lasky. The examination of J.S. Oliver was conducted by Ashish Ward, Eric Lee, and Pristine Chan of the Los Angeles office' investment adviser/investment company examination program. (Press Rel. 2013-168; IA- 9446) Commission Rewards Three Whistleblowers Who Helped Stop Sham Hedge FundThe Commission today announced that three whistleblowers have been awarded more than $25,000 combined for tips and information they provided to help the SEC and Justice Department stop a sham hedge fund. This is the first installment of anticipated payments to the whistleblowers as additional assets are collected from the purported hedge fund manager. The whistleblowers are expected to ultimately receive approximately $125,000 in total. The SEC issued an order earlier this summer rewarding each of the three whistleblowers with 5 percent of the money that the SEC ultimately collects from its enforcement action against Locust Offshore Management and its CEO Andrey C. Hicks. In cases where there are related criminal proceedings in which money is collected by another regulator, a provision in the whistleblower rules allows whistleblowers to then additionally apply for an award based off the other regulator' collections in what qualifies as a "related action." The Commission subsequently approved 5 percent payouts to each whistleblower for money collected in the related criminal action. Hicks pled guilty on Dec. 12, 2012, to five counts of wire fraud and consented to the forfeiture of his interest in property previously seized by the Justice Department. He was sentenced to 40 months in prison. Approximately $170,000 has been administratively forfeited in the criminal proceeding – money that is deemed collected for purposes of issuing whistleblower awards. Therefore, the three whistleblowers will now receive $8,505 each. Additional payments can be made to these whistleblowers upon forfeiture of the additional assets that have been seized. The aggregate value of assets seized from Hicks is estimated to be approximately $845,000, and the whistleblowers are expected to ultimately receive 15 percent of this amount for a combined total of approximately $125,000. The SEC' order does not identify the whistleblowers, whose confidentiality is protected under the SEC' whistleblower program. The order states that two of the whistleblowers provided information that prompted the SEC to open an investigation and stop the scheme before more investors were harmed. The third whistleblower identified key witnesses and confirmed information the other two whistleblowers provided. The SEC' whistleblower program is authorized under the law to reward individuals who offer high-quality, original information that leads to an SEC enforcement action in which more than $1 million in sanctions is ordered. More information about the whistleblower program and how to report a tip is available at: http://www.sec.gov/whistleblower (Press Rel. 2013-169; 34-70293) In the Matter of GEI Financial Services, Inc., Norman Goldstein, and Laurie GatherumThe Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Sections 203(e) and 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Notice of Hearing (Order) against GEI Financial Services, Inc. (GEI Financial), Norman Goldstein (Goldstein), and Laurie Gatherum (Gatherum) (collectively, Respondents). The Order alleges that on August 13, 2013 a final judgment by default became effective against GEI Financial, Goldstein, and Gatherum permanently enjoining them from future violations of Sections 204, 204A, 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 204-1, 204A-1, 204-2, 204-3, 206(4)-7, and 206(4)-8(a)(1) thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. GEI Financial Services, Inc., et al., Civil Action Number 12-CV-7927, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The Order also alleges that the injunctions arose from allegations in the district court action that Respondents took over $147,000 in excessive fees and capital withdrawals from their advisory client, the GEI Health Care Fund 2001, L.P. (the Fund), an unregistered investment pool. According to the district court complaint, Respondents also never told their advisory clients that the State of Illinois revoked Goldstein' securities registrations in 2011, which barred him from providing investment advisory services in Illinois. But even after losing his Illinois registration as an investment adviser representative, Goldstein still made all investment decisions for GEI Financial' clients and the Fund. A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true; to provide GEI Financial, Goldstein, and Gatherum with an opportunity to respond to these allegations; and to determine what sanctions, if any, are appropriate and in the public interest. As directed by the Commission, an administrative law judge shall issue an initial decision in this matter no later than 210 days from the date of service of the Order.
