RULES AND RELATED MATTERSExemptive OrderAn order was issued granting exemptions to ALPS ETF Trust, ALPS/GS Momentum Builder Growth Markets Equities and U.S. Treasuries Index ETF, ALPS/GS Momentum Builder Multi-Asset Index ETF, and ALPS/GS Momentum Builder Asia ex-Japan Equities and U.S. Treasuries Index ETF from Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M pursuant to Rules 101(d) and 102(e) of Regulation M, and from Exchange Act Rule 10b-17 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10b-17(b)(2). (Rel. 34-68459) Enforcement ProceedingsSEC Charges Advisory Firms and Portfolio Managers for Roles in Collapse of Midwest-Based Closed-End Mutual FundThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged two investment advisory firms and two portfolio managers responsible for managing a Midwest-based closed-end mutual fund for their roles in the failure to adequately inform investors about the fund’s risky derivative strategies that contributed to its collapse during the financial crisis. An SEC investigation found that the Fiduciary/Claymore Dynamic Equity Fund (HCE) attempted two strategies to enhance returns – writing out-of-the money put options and shorting variance swaps. This exposed HCE to additional undisclosed risks and caused the fund to lose more than $45 million in September and October 2008, which was approximately 45 percent of its net assets. The fund liquidated in 2009. Fund adviser and administrator Claymore Advisors LLC, which is located in Lisle, Ill., and the sub-adviser responsible for managing HCE’s portfolio, St. Louis-based Fiduciary Asset Management LLC (FAMCO), agreed to settle the SEC’s charges. Claymore has established a plan to distribute up to $45 million to fully compensate investors for losses related to the problematic trading. FAMCO agreed to pay an additional $2 million in disgorgement and penalties. The SEC’s case continues against former FAMCO employees Mohammed K. Riad of Clayton, Mo., and Kevin Timothy Swanson of St. Louis, the co-portfolio managers who allegedly made misleading statements in HCE’s periodic reports about the two strategies’ contribution to HCE’s performance and about HCE’s exposure to downside risk. “When discussing fund performance and risks, fund advisers must candidly and accurately portray how the fund is being managed. The disclosures in this case fell short of the mark,” said Robert J. Burson, Senior Associate Regional Director of the SEC’s Chicago office. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by the Chicago office and the Enforcement Division’s Structured and New Products Unit that focuses on derivatives and other complex financial products. “Derivatives have the potential to vastly increase the amount of leverage and exposure for a fund. HCE was exposed to substantial undisclosed risks as a result of its use of these complex financial instruments, and investors weren’t sufficiently told,” said Kenneth Lench, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Structured and New Products Unit. According to the SEC’s orders instituting the settled and unsettled administrative proceedings, FAMCO managed HCE in a manner that was inconsistent with the fund’s registration statement. Through the portfolio managers, FAMCO made misleading statements about HCE’s performance, omitting discussion of contributions from the put-writing and variance swap strategies. FAMCO also made misleading statements about HCE’s exposure to downside risk. Investors in HCE lost $45,396,878 as a result of this riskier trading, and the fund lost $70 million total (72.4 percent of its net asset value) during this period of general market decline. The SEC’s order found that Claymore failed reasonably to supervise FAMCO as required by the firms’ investment advisory agreements, and found that Claymore caused HCE’s failure to provide adequate disclosure in HCE’s annual report or an amended registration statement about the fund’s use of written put options and variance swaps and their associated risks. Claymore consented to the order without admitting or denying the charges, and has established a distribution plan to fully reimburse shareholders for up to $45,396,878 in losses from these derivative transactions. FAMCO agreed to pay disgorgement of $644,951, prejudgment interest of $134,978, and a penalty of $1.3 million. Without admitting or denying the charges, FAMCO agreed to be censured and to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8, and Section 34(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The case continues against Riad and Swanson, who the SEC Division of Enforcement alleges violated, aided and abetted, and/or caused violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-8, and Section 34(b) of the Investment Company Act. The Division also alleges that Riad caused violations of Investment Company Act Rule 8b-16. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Jeffrey A. Shank and Anne C. McKinley with assistance from Emmanouil Tsimouris and Susan M. Weis in the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations. Robert M. Moye will lead the SEC’s litigation. Related examinations of HCE, Claymore, and FAMCO were conducted by Mr. Tsimouris, Ms. Weis, Edward J. Wicherek, Michael R. Collins, Vanessa L. Horton, Walter H. Melcher, and Anthony J. Santoro under the supervision of Belinda A. Hoskins, Andrew D. Schuster, Maureen S. Dempsey, and David J. Mueller in the Chicago office. (Press Rel. 2012-272; IA-3519; IA-3520; 34-68467) Securities and Exchange Commission Orders Hearing on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Seven Public Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic FilingsOn December 18, 2012, the Commission instituted public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registrations of each class of the securities of seven companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:
In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the seven issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission. In this proceeding, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge will hear evidence from the Division and the Respondents to determine whether the allegations of the Division contained in the Order, which the Division alleges constitute failures to comply with Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder, are true. The Administrative Law Judge in the proceeding will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of each class of the securities of these Respondents should be revoked or suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months. The Commission ordered that the Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-68463; File No. 3-15138) In the Matter of C.D. Acquisition Corp., et al.An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registrations by Default in C.D.

As a result, the ALJ ordered that the registration of each class of each issuer’s registered securities is revoked. (Rel. 34-68465; File No. 3-15099) Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of Crown International, Inc. For Failure to Make Required Periodic FilingsOn December 19, 2012, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of Crown International, Inc.

(Rel. 34-68466; File No. 3-15111) In the Matter of Michael PassaroOn December 19, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Michael Passaro. The Order finds that on January 28, 2011 Passaro pled guilty to securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, and conspiracy to commit those three offenses, in violation of 15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b) and 78ff; 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5; and 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341, 1343, and 2, before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in United States v. Ross Mandell, et al., 09-cr-662 (S.D.N.Y.). Passaro, 49 years old, is a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina. Passaro was a registered representative (“RR”) at The Thornwater Company, L.P. (“Thornwater”) from 2000 to 2002. Passaro was next an RR at Sky Capital LLC (now known as Granta Capital LLC) (Sky Capital), a New York-based broker-dealer, from 2001 to 2008. The counts of the criminal indictment under which Passaro pled guilty alleged, inter alia, that after Passaro began working at Thornwater through at least 2006, Passaro and others carried out a fraudulent scheme by soliciting millions of dollars from investors under false pretenses, manipulating the market for certain affiliated companies’ stocks, failing to use investors’ funds as promised, and misappropriating and converting investors’ funds without their knowledge. The indictment alleged that Passaro and others used material misrepresentations and omissions to cause individuals to invest in a series of purported investment opportunities, including private placements. The indictment also alleged that Passaro and others raised a total of approximately $140 million from investors through their fraudulent scheme. The indictment further alleged that Passaro and his co-defendants used those funds to enrich themselves, pay undisclosed commissions to brokers, and pay off earlier investors who had lost funds on prior purported investment opportunities. Passaro’s sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled. Based on the above, the Order bars Passaro from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Passaro consented to the Order. For more information about this matter, please see Litigation Release Number 21120 / July 8, 2009.
