According to the SEC, Brod&#8217;s wrongful activities are in violation of his company&#8217;s ethics, as well as the antifraud and reporting provisions of the 1940 Investment Company Act.<\/p>\n<p>SEC rules mandate that Brod turn in quarterly and yearly reports of personal securities transactions to Aeltus, which mandates pre-clearance of all portfolio managers&#8217; securities trades, prohibits short-term trades, allows no more than 30 securities trades in a quarter, and requires both a 60-day holding period and a yearly certification of code compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Brod is said to have actively taken part in personal, short-term trading in public company stocks. He had access on a regular basis to mutual fund holdings and their transactions in securities that were traded publicly. His method of trading, says the commission, required a very short-term trading pattern, and his holding period lasted about two to seven days. He engaged in about 3,5000 personal trades. <\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/blog\/securities-and-exchange-commis-4\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Securities and Exchange Commission Charges Ex-Portfolio Manager With Failing To Disclose Personal Stock Transactions\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geoffrey Brod, a former Aeltus Investment Management LLC portfolio manager has been charged by the SEC with concealing personal stock trades held by mutual funds that he was overseeing.
