Macquarie Unit Settles SEC Fraud Allegations for $79.8 Million

agreed to settle allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the company inflated the value of thousands of illiquid investments and overstated the performance of client accounts.

Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, the firm agreed to pay $79.8 million to settle the matter, the SEC said Thursday.

From January 2017 to April 2021, the firm managed a fixed-income investment strategy invested in mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and Treasury futures. Investments included thousands of smaller, so-called odd-lot positions that traded at a discount to larger positions.
