Monex Securities, Inc.

Monex Securities, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Monex Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V., which in turn is part of Monex Grupo Financiero, a leading financial group in Mexico. According to their website, the firm was formed with the objective of satisfying the international investment needs of their customers, providing personal investment advice and managing risks. Operating since 1992, the firm is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Monex clears all future trading activity through Straits Financial LLC and all firm and client security transactions through Pershing LLC.

Monex Securities, Inc has been the subject of several regulatory investigations, some of which have resulted in disciplinary actions by regulators.

In December 2014, Monex was fined $175,000 plus restitution and interest of over $1.1 million for allegations it entered into a dealer to dealer administrative servicing and supervisory support agreement with its Mexican parent company and paid transaction-related compensation to nonregistered foreign employees. FINRA found that the firm and its CCO failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system reasonably designed to achieve compliance with securities laws and to have adequate written procedures that ensured these individuals were either not required to be registered or were properly registered before receiving compensation.

FINRA censured and fined Monex $7,500 in March 2015 for charging excessive mark-ups and mark-downs on foreign bond transactions. These mark-ups and mark-downs were not fair and reasonable.
