FINRA fines JPMorgan unit $750K over inaccurate, duplicative orders

JPMorgan Chase

JPMorgan Securities agreed to pay $750,000 to settle allegations levied by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) that its inadequate financial risk management controls and supervisory procedures allowed five erroneous orders to be placed with exchanges or alternative trading systems.

From January 2019 to July 2022, the broker-dealer’s financial risk management controls were “not reasonably designed to prevent certain erroneous orders that exceeded appropriate price or size parameters, on an order-by-order basis or over a short period of time, or that indicated duplicative orders,” FINRA stated in its order issued Monday.

The $750,000 fine will be paid jointly to Nasdaq and FINRA, of which $187,500 is allocated to FINRA, the order said.
