VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 30, 2020 /CNW/ – Following a penalty hearing held on July 6 -7, 2020, a Hearing Panel of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) imposed the following sanctions on Dwight Cameron Mann:
a) A fine in the amount of $250,000
b) A compliance audit of Mann and the Mann team shall be conducted by an independent compliance auditor, subject to certain terms and conditions, for the period of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
Mr. Mann is also required to pay costs in the amount of $50,000.
The Order is effective September 21, 2020. The penalty decision will be available at www.iiroc.ca. In an earlier decision dated February 25, 2020, the Hearing Panel found that Mr. Mann engaged in misleading conduct in certain clients’ accounts. The Panel also found that he made an unjustified promise of specific results and failed to report a client’s complaint.
IIROC formally initiated the investigation into Mr. Mann’s conduct in May 2018. The alleged violations occurred while he was a Portfolio Manager and a Registered Representative with a Vancouver branch of National Bank Financial Ltd., an IIROC-regulated firm. Mr. Mann is currently a Portfolio Manager and a Registered Representative at the Vancouver branch of Canaccord Genuity Corp., an IIROC regulated firm.
