The cases are included in Finra's monthly rundown of disciplinary actions it has taken against firms and individuals for alleged violations of federal securities laws, rules and regulations. In the first action involving Turner, Finra found that the firm violated a rule requiring brokers to ensure that all municipal securities transactions between the firm's account and a customer's account be done at a "fair and reasonable" price.

Finra also says the firm's supervisory system failed to "provide for supervision reasonably designed to achieve compliance" with securities regulations related to fair pricing of municipals. In the second recent case involving Turner, Finra says the brokerage failed to prevent registered reps from making multiple phone solicitations to numbers that were on both the national do-not-call registry and the firm's own list.

Finra also found that Turner "failed to establish, maintain and enforce" a supervisory system that would prevent those phone calls from being made. According to Finra records, when Turner stopped using a third-party telemarketer company-wide, one of its offices was permitted to continue using the telemarketer.

Meanwhile, Finra also has been going after firms for infractions related to unit investment trusts.

Basically, UITs are investments in a fixed portfolio of income-producing securities that have a defined maturity date. In one case, Finra found that Woodbury Financial Services, of Oakdale, Minnesota, failed to identify and apply sales charge discounts to certain customers' eligible purchases of UITs.

The findings also said that Woodbury failed to establish, maintain and enforce a supervisory system and written supervisory procedures "reasonably designed to ensure that customers received sales charge discounts on all eligible UIT purchases. Woodbury, with about 1, independent reps, is part of AIG Advisor Group, which is being sold by parent American International Group to Lightyear Capital and PSP Investments.

The deal was announced late last month. According to the regulator, ProEquities, of Birmingham, Alabama, lacked written supervisory procedures to identify UIT transactions eligible for sales charge discounts and "lacked a process to assure that such discounts were properly applied. ProEquities, which is owned by Protective Life and has about 1, brokers across the country, has more than 50 regulatory events listed on its BrokerCheck report.
