Our firm exclusively pursues investor claims and class actions on behalf of investors who suffered financial losses through investment misconduct.
In 2006, NASD fined Royal Alliance Associates, Inc. for $250,000 for industry violations and ordered the investment firm to pay approximately $1.6 million in restitution to its clients (plus interest). The violations concerned clients of Royal Alliance Associates who had "purchased shares of mutual funds during the period of January 1, 2002 through December 13, 2006."
According to FINRA,
"Enforcement actions were brought against these securities firms because they failed to have adequate supervisory systems and procedures to identify opportunities for investors to purchase Class A mutual fund shares at net asset value (NAV), or without a front-end sales charge. Each firm was ordered to provide remediation to certain eligible clients who qualified for, but did not receive the benefit of available NAV Transfer Programs."
Investors who suffered losses because of Royal Alliance's failure to supervise and other investment misconduct could qualify for the remediation plan – money paid out of the $1.6 million settlement. However, individual investors who qualified and received a settlement could still pursue arbitration or mediation for additional damages against Royal Alliance Associates.
