Did Carolina Financial Securities, LLC Cause You Investment Losses?
Brevard, North Carolina-based Carolina Financial Securities, LLC (Carolina Financial) agreed to, without admitting or denying, the described penalties and to the entry of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) findings that it failed to supervise the sale of an unregistered private placement offering to investors with investments of approximately $1.1 million. FINRA found that Carolina Financial failed to follow its procedures pertaining to the review and verification of statements made in private placement offering documents. In addition, FINRA found that the brokerage firm did not conduct adequate due diligence prior to the approval of the offering for sale to its investors.
FINRA’s findings stated that Carolina Financial failed to supervise several aspects of the offering’s private placement memorandum (PPM). First, Carolina Financial neglected to make sure that the PPM included all necessary material information. Second, Carolina Financial neglected to review the underlying loan agreement for the property which was involved in the offering. Third, the firm neglected to notice that the PPM did not disclose a material capital call provision in the aforementioned loan agreement. Lastly, Carolina Financial approved the private placement offering to its investors without confirming the details of the loan agreement made in the PPM. As a result, Carolina Financial was censured and fined $50,000 by FINRA.
