FINRA Sanctions 10 Former Global Arena Representatives As A Result Of FINRA Crackdown On Broker Migration

Date 15/09/2015

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced today that as a result of a 2014 onsite exam, it found securities violations including various misleading sales pitches, customer account churning and other business misconduct at Global Arena Capital Corp. It has barred seven former registered representatives from the securities industry, suspended an eighth person whose bar will become effective in October, and barred two former branch managers from serving in a principal capacity. The actions are a result of FINRA's continued focus on tracking groups of brokers that move from one risky firm to another. Seven of the 10 individuals had moved from HFP Capital Markets LLC—a problem firm that FINRA later expelled—to Global Arena Capital Corp. Global Arena opened a branch office in October 2013 to register a number of brokers who had been discharged by HFP. Like HFP, the branch office's business model involved cold-calling customers, including seniors, to make solicited recommendations of securities.
