Statement Regarding National Trust And Fiduciary Services Company, Inc., et al., SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, Jan. 17, 2023

Date 17/01/2023

We write separately to clarify our view that this Order should not be read to suggest that a statement that one fee is waived is not necessarily rendered misleading by the receipt of another fee. The Commission’s Order finds that National Trust and Fiduciary Services Company, Inc. (“NTFS”), a non-depository trust company, violated Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933 when it stated that there were “no annual fees” for one of its product offerings, including by stating in trust instruments that the annual trustee fee was “waived.” According to the Order, these statements were misleading because NTFS failed to disclose that: (1) trust assets were invested in mutual fund share classes that charged recurring Rule 12b-1 fees, and (2) these Rule 12b-1 fees were paid to a broker-dealer subsidiary of NTFS that routed the fees to NTFS after deducting its expenses and satisfying its net capital requirements.
