Massachusetts fines RBC $200,000 over failure to supervise
Regulator charges the firm failed to act on a former broker who was loading customer accounts up with energy sector master limited partnerships.
RBC Capital Markets has signed a consent order with Massachusetts securities regulators, accepting a censure and a $200,000 fine for failing to supervise former broker Bruce Cameron, who over-concentrated the portfolios of senior citizens in energy sector master limited partnerships.
Cameron, a 50-year veteran of the securities industry, left the firm and dropped his securities registrations last November after being censured by the state.
