JPMorgan Securities (JPMS), the banking giant\u2019s brokerage unit, is getting hit with a multimillion-dollar fine over allegations that it turned a blind eye to an ex-broker\u2019s high-risk trading approach.<\/p>\n

In a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) accuses<\/a> JPMS of failing to reasonably supervise a former broker who recommended an unsound investment strategy to clients between January 2016 and April 2020.<\/p>\n

[adinserter block=”1″]<\/p>\n

FINRA alleges that the broker\u2019s strategy involved taking large concentrated positions in high-yield securities using leverage. In trading, using leverage involves borrowing capital from a broker or exchange to buy larger positions with a smaller investment. While it could amplify returns, it could also magnify losses if the market moves against the position.<\/p>\n

According to FINRA, customers who followed the broker\u2019s recommendation lost money between March and April of 2020, as market volatility spiked due to the pandemic. The regulator says JPMS customers started receiving margin calls as their leveraged positions declined in value. The customers were subsequently forced to liquidate a significant portion of their holdings and suffer steep losses.<\/p>\n

Says FINRA,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe firm failed to take reasonable action in response to red flags related to the representative\u2019s trading activity and use of discretion without written authorization identified throughout the relevant period. JPMS therefore violated FIN RA Rules 3110(a) and 2010. JPMS is censured and fined $3,250,000.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

JPMS has agreed to the stipulations of the Letter without admitting or denying FINRA\u2019s accusations.<\/p>\n
