Quotes from Shorris: The 'Loquacious' Outgoing FINRA Enforcement Chief

February 21, 2011

James Shorris:  "Regardless of the size of their brokerage account, all investors are entitled to services from registered representatives acting in their clients' best interests who are reasonably supervised by properly registered professionals."

James Shorris:  "The Anti-Reciprocal Rule is designed to ensure that firms recommend mutual funds on their merits and not because of the receipt of brokerage commissions, which are assets of the mutual fund shareholders and should not be used for marketing purposes."
