A commodity pool operator ("CPO") and commodity trading advisor ("CTA") paid a $60,000 fine to settle NFA Business Conduct Committee ("BCC") charges that it had committed a number of violations with respect to the operation of offshore pool funds. The NFA alleged that the CPO/CTA had: (i) commingled offshore pool funds; (ii) distributed inaccurate pool statements; (iii) failed to receive funds in the name of the pool; (iv) failed to disclose the amount of all fees charged to pool participants; and (v) failed to fully supervise its operations.
The NFA added that the CPO/CTA previously had paid a $30,000 fine to settle 2014 charges alleging that it had failed to timely file several of its required reports.
