Aegis Capital Corp.

Aegis Capital Corp. (Aegis) markets itself as a full service retail and institutional broker-dealer headquartered in New York City.

Aegis Capital has been the subject of several regulatory investigations, some which resulted in disciplinary actions by regulators.

According to FINRA, from 2009 to 2011, Aegis allegedly failed to identity potentially fraudulent transactions that generated approximately $24.5 million in profits from unregistered penny stocks. $1.1 million in commissions was earned by the firm on these transactions. FINRA said there were multiple signs of suspicious activity that went unreported or undetected by Aegis’ compliance department.

FINRA has long recognized that the penny stock market frequently leads to violations of FINRA rules and regulations. Many brokerage firms use cold callers or aggressive sales tactics to sell penny stocks to its customers.
