SEC Fines 7 Brokerage Firms for Failing to Disclose Receiving Payments for Research Coverage

The SEC imposed a $3.65 Million on the following firms: Janney Montgomery Scott; Adams Harkness; SG Cowen; Friedman, Billings, Ramsey; Morgan Keegan; Needham & Company; and the Prudential Equity Group.

These brokerage firms received payments for issuing research on certain companies from 1999 to 2002. Such payments create a conflict of interest and must be disclosed.
