According to the SEC: "Beginning in March 2010 and through December 2011, AINA, a registered investment adviser to various clients arranged cross trade transactions in which three of AINA's traders (the "Traders") sold fixed-income securities from certain AINA advisory client accounts to counterparty broker-dealers, and then the next day repurchased the same securities from the same broker-dealers for the accounts of certain other AINA advisory client. As a result of these trades, AINA caused certain of its advisory clients to conduct trades with affiliates unwittingly in violation of Sections 17(a)(1) and (a)(2) of the Investment Company Act."
