New York-based investment adviser Insight Venture Management agreed to pay a $1.5 million penalty in settling with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for allegedly overcharging management fees and failing to disclose conflicts of interest regarding fee calculations.
Insight, which does business as Insight Partners, also agreed to pay $864,958 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest to impacted funds, which it has already satisfied, the SEC said in a press release Tuesday.
Insight agreed to a censure and cease-and-desist order in reaching settlement.
