\t\t\t\tRodman & Renshaw LLC is getting out of the brokerage business. It turned in its Form BDW \u2013 the Uniform Request for Withdrawal of Broker Dealer- to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on Friday. Just two days before, on September 12, the brokerage firm, which is a Direct Markets Holdings Subsidiary, told the SRO that it isn’t in compliance anymore with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. Because of this, besides liquidating transactions, the once leading investment bank will no longer be involved in the securities business. Rodman & Renshaw may also sell its assets. <\/p>\n

Just last month, FINRA fined Rodman & Renshaw $315,000 for alleged supervisory and information barrier violations involving interactions that took place between its investment banking and research functions. FINRA maintains that because of supervisory deficiencies, at least two incidents occurred involving a research analyst taking part in attempts to solicit investment banking business and an incident involving another research analyst trying to organize a payment from a public company happened. Both individuals have been sanctioned and will serve out suspensions. <\/p>\n

According to Investment News, failing to meet regulatory-net-capital levels is often a sign that the end is near for a financial firm-unless it manages to recoup and stay in operation. Since the 2008 economic crisis, a number of brokers-dealers have struggled to keep their reserves up. Unfortunately, hundreds of brokerage firms have been unable to do so, and many of them have had to close down. FINRA says that in the last five year, there has been a 13% drop in the number of broker-dealers. Compare the 4,370 brokerage firms in operation last month to the 5,005 that were in business in 2007.<\/p>\n
