Brookville Capital Partners (BCP)

Brookville Capital Partners promotes itself as a leading boutique investment firm providing wealth management and investment banking services to corporate clients and high new worth individuals. Located in Melville, NY, with a branch office in New York City, BCP has been in business since 2000 and changed its name from New Castle Financial Group in 2007. As of May 8, 2105, BCP’s membership with FINRA has been canceled for failure to pay outstanding fees of over $500,000.

During its short time in existence, Brookville Securities Partners has been the subject of several regulatory investigations which have resulted in disciplinary actions by regulators.

In pending charges, BCP and two of its brokers are accused of causing losses of over $1.5 million to an elderly investor. They allegedly “churned” the account and concealed the amount being charged in commissions. Both Massachusetts and Rhode Island are seeking to bar BCP and the two brokers from the securities industry in those states. One of the brokers formerly worked at Stratton Oakmont, Inc., the firm that was the subject of the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”.

In 2011, New Jersey fined BCP $10,000 for failing to comply with at least two heightened supervisory agreements executed as a condition of registration for those agents in the state of New Jersey. They also failed to report any customer complaint instituted against those agents.

Brookville Capital Partners (CRD #102380, Melville, New York) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which the firm was fined and censure $500,000 and ordered to pay over $1 million plus interest in restitution for defrauding customers in connection with the sale of a private placement offering by a convicted felon. The individual who had effected transactions on behalf of the private placement as its CEO and managing director had been sanctioned by the SEC for securities fraud and convicted in Florida a felony. These facts were not disclosed to any of the customers solicited to invest in the offering. FINRA found that the firm failed to conduct adequate due diligence of the offering and lacked a reasonable basis to believe the recommendation of the private placement could be suitable for any investor. FINRA also found failure to supervise in connection with the private placement offering. (FINRA Case #2012030968601)
