SEC Sues Fund Adviser for Fees Charged in Breach of Duty Under the Investment Company Act

The Securities and Exchange Commission today sued AMMB Consultant Sendirian Berhad (AMC), a Malaysian investment adviser, alleging that for more than a decade, AMC charged a U.S. registered fund for advisory services that AMC did not provide. The SEC alleges that by doing so, AMC breached its fiduciary duty with respect to compensation under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Kuala Lumpur-based AMC served as a sub-adviser to the Malaysia Fund, Inc., a closed-end fund that invests in Malaysian companies, whose principal investment adviser is Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (MSIM). The SEC alleges that AMC misrepresented its services during the fund’s annual advisory agreement review process for each year for more than 10 years, and AMC collected fees for advisory services that it did not provide.

AMC, a unit of AMMB Holdings Berhad, one of Malaysia’s largest banking groups, agreed to pay $1.6 million to settle the SEC’s charges, without admitting or denying the allegations. The case follows the SEC’s recent related action against the Malaysia Fund’s primary adviser, MSIM, and is part of an inquiry into the investment advisory contract renewal process by the SEC Enforcement Division’s Asset Management Unit.

“We are committed to ensuring that advisers to registered funds adhere to their fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation. Here, AMC breached that duty by charging fees for services that were not rendered,” said Bruce Karpati, Chief of the Asset Management Unit in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.

AMC’s advisory fees were approved each year from 1996 to 2007 as part of the “15(c) process,” a reference to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which requires a registered fund’s board to annually evaluate the fund’s advisory agreements, and advisers to provide the board with information reasonably necessary to make that evaluation.

According to the SEC, AMC submitted a report to the Malaysia Fund’s board of directors each year that falsely claimed that AMC was providing specific advice, research, and assistance to MSIM for the benefit of the fund. In reality, the SEC’s complaint said AMC’s services were limited to providing two monthly reports based on publicly available information that MSIM did not request or use. Moreover, the SEC alleged that AMC failed to adopt and implement adequate policies, procedures, and controls over its advisory business, contrary to certifications provided to the fund’s directors in 2006 and 2007. AMC’s advisory agreement with the fund was terminated in early 2008 after the SEC’s examination staff inquired about the services AMC was purportedly providing to the fund.

The SEC’s complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that AMC breached its fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation within the meaning of Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The SEC also alleges that AMC violated Sections 206(2) and (4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder, and Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. AMC consented to a judgment that bars it from violating these provisions in the future. AMC has also agreed to disgorge $1.3 million of its advisory fees paid by the fund and pay a $250,000 penalty.

Chad Alan Earnst, Christine Lynch, and Jessica Weiner, of the Enforcement Division’s Asset Management Unit staff, conducted the investigation along with Tonya Tullis and Edward D. McCutcheon. Karen Stevenson, Susan Schneider, and Dennis Delaney conducted the related examinations.

The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the Securities Commission of Malaysia and the Monetary Authority of Singapore. (Press Rel. 2012-120)

SEC Charges Founder of Equity Research Firm With Insider Trading

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Tai Nguyen, the owner of the California-based equity research firm Insight Research, with insider trading. The charges stem from the SEC’s ongoing investigation of insider trading involving so-called “expert networks” that provide specialized information to investment firms.

The SEC alleges that from 2006 through 2009, Nguyen frequently traded in the securities of Abaxis, Inc. based on inside information he received from a close relative employed at Abaxis. Nguyen repeatedly traded for himself in advance of the company’s quarterly earnings announcements while in possession of key data in those announcements, reaping tens of thousands of dollars in illicit profits. Nguyen also passed that same information to hedge fund clients of Insight Research, who used the inside information to make millions of dollars in profits from trading Abaxis securities.

“Nguyen claimed expertise in researching and analyzing technology companies, but his special edge was his willingness to break the law,” said Sanjay Wadhwa, Associate Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office and Deputy Chief of the Market Abuse Unit. “Like many other so-called ‘experts’ who trafficked in inside information, Nguyen now finds himself the subject of an enforcement action.”

The SEC has charged 23 defendants in enforcement actions arising out of its expert networks investigation, which has uncovered widespread insider trading at several hedge funds and other investment advisory firms. The insider trading alleged by the SEC has yielded illicit gains of more than $117 million, chiefly in shares of technology companies, including Apple, Dell, Fairchild Semiconductor, and Marvell Technology.

According to the SEC’s complaint, filed in federal court in Manhattan, Nguyen regularly obtained material nonpublic information about Abaxis Inc.’s quarterly earnings -- including revenues, gross profit margins and earnings per share -- from a relative who worked in Abaxis’s finance department. Nguyen used the information to trade Abaxis securities in his own account and reaped approximately $145,000 in illicit trading profits from 2006 through 2009.

In addition to trading in his own account, the SEC alleges that Nguyen passed the inside information to New York-based Barai Capital Management and Boston-based Sonar Capital Management, both of which were clients of Nguyen’s firm, Insight Research. The two hedge fund managers – who collectively were paying Insight Research tens of thousands of dollars each month – traded Abaxis securities based on the inside information that Nguyen provided and reaped more than $7.2 million in illicit gains for their hedge funds.

The SEC’s complaint charges Nguyen with violating the anti-fraud provisions of U.S. securities laws and seeks a final judgment ordering him to disgorge his ill-gotten gains, with interest, and pay financial penalties, and permanently barring him from future violations.

The SEC’s investigation is continuing. Daniel Marcus and Joseph Sansone, members of the SEC’s Market Abuse Unit in New York, conducted the investigation, along with Matthew Watkins, Neil Hendelman, Diego Brucculeri, and James D’Avino of the New York Regional Office. The SEC thanks the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in the matter. (Press Rel. 2012-121)

Enforcement proceedings

Delinquent Filer’s Stock Registration Revoked

The registration of the registered securities of Global Teledata Corp. has been revoked. It had repeatedly failed to file required annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thus, it violated a crucial provision of the federal securities laws that requires public corporations to publicly disclose current, accurate financial information so that investors may make informed decisions. The revocation was ordered in an administrative proceeding before an administrative law judge. (Rel. 34-67254; File No. 3-14902)

In the Matter of Roberto Aleph Espinosa

On June 26, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act), Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Roberto Aleph Espinosa. The Order finds that on June 12, 2012, a final judgment was entered against Espinosa, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, Sections 206(1), 206(2), 206(4), and Rule 206(4)-8(a) of the Advisers Act, and aiding and abetting violations of Sections 206(1), 206(2), 206(4), and Rule 206(4)-8(a) of the Advisers Act in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jorge Gomez and Roberto Aleph Espinosa, Civil Action Number 12-CV-21962-Ungaro, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The complaint alleged that from October 2008 to September 2010, Espinosa, through Aleph, operated as a broker-dealer while he was not registered with the Commission as a broker or dealer and was not associated with an entity registered as a broker or dealer. In addition, while serving as investment adviser to a client (the Client), Espinosa observed the Client’s co-adviser withdraw more than $4.3 million from the Client’s brokerage account without alerting the Client to the activity. Moreover, upon receipt of a September 11, 2010 email, which alerted Espinosa to the possibility that the co-adviser was committing fraud, Espinosa failed to alert the client to the email or raise the issue of potential fraud with the Client. In addition, Espinosa failed to disclose various fees to the Client and his other investment advisory clients including the ACG Global Fund, Ltd.

Based on the above, the Order bars Espinosa, with the right to apply for reentry after three years, from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical ratings organization. The Order also bars Espinosa from participating in any offering of a penny stock. Espinosa consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in Order, except he admitted to the entry of the injunction.
