The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced charges against a New York firm and its owner for operating as an unregistered investment adviser to a lone client: a sanctioned Russian oligarch.
Michael Matlin, owner and principal of Concord Management, founded the firm in 1999 to provide investment advice for compensation and to supervise and manage the client’s investments in U.S.-based private funds, the SEC said in a press release Tuesday.
From at least 2012 through March 2022, Concord and Matlin sourced, arranged, and monitored hundreds of investments in private equity and hedge funds on behalf of the client, according to the SEC’s complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
