Also, as part of the settlement, SG Americas, who is accused of helping in the fraud, will pay over $1 million to resolve the charges. <\/p>\n<p>The portfolio manager, Sheila Huang, has consented to an industry bar. According to an SEC probe, while overseeing accounts that had to liquidate certain positions in 2011 and 2012, Huang arranged for the sale of mortgage-backed securities to Yimin Ge, an SG Americas subsidiary, at prices that were predetermined so she could buy back the positions at small markups in other accounts that Morgan Stanley advised. <\/p>\n<p>Huang sold more bonds at prices that were above market so she would not suffer losses for certain accounts. She then bought the positions back at prices that were unfavorable in a fund she oversaw without disclosing this to the client whose fund had been disadvantaged. <\/p>\n<p>Huang is accused of engaging in prearranged transactions for five bond trade sets. As a result of her parking scam, some Morgan Stanley clients benefited more than others.  Purchasing clients were generally the ones that profited from the market saving, while buying and selling clients did not. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/blog\/morgan-stanley-to-pay-88m-in-p\/#more-5910\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MISM) will pay $8.8 million to resolve SEC charges accusing a firm portfolio manager of engaging in a parking scheme that gave preferential treatment to certain client accounts.
