Regulatory Action
On December 31, 2020, Jamie Worden entered into an Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent agreement (AWC) in which he consented to the findings that his firm’s unreasonable supervisory system allowed its representatives to make unsuitable recommendations and excessively trade investor accounts. His firm’s failure to supervise allegedly resulted in more than $1 million in investor losses.
He further consented to the findings that as the owner of Worden Capital, he failed to act on dozens of red flags that indicated potentially unsuitable trades. Jamie Worden even allegedly rejected a chief compliance officer’s recommendation that at least four representatives be disciplined for unsuitable investment recommendations.
As part of the terms of the AWC, Jamie consented to a fine of $15,000 and a three-month suspension. He also had to complete 20 hours of continuing education concerning supervisory responsibilities. You can read a copy of the AWC here.
