The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ordered Edward Jones to pay $20 million for overcharging retail customers in new municipal bond sales. The SEC claims the brokerage firm failed to sell new bonds to customers at the “initial offering price.” They, instead, put the bonds into their own inventory, then sold them to customers at a higher price. In all, the customers paid more than $4.6 over what they should have paid. The overcharges were through the offer and sale of about 156 bonds in 75 negotiated offerings in which Edwards Jones served as co-manager.
