SkiHawk Capital Partners won the dismissal of fraud claims against it, another investment adviser, and their owners and managers by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
SkiHawk and The Convergence Group (TCG), along with individuals Clement Borkowski, Sean Hawkins, and Joseph Schiff, faced a lawsuit from the SEC in June 2021 accusing them of fraud, material misrepresentations, and breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with three private funds they advised. The agency sought permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and civil penalties in its litigation.
TCG announced in a press release Monday the victory over the SEC’s claims.
