Stifel accepted a $300,000 fine from the SEC to settle allegations the firm failed to disclose to clients the need to pay transaction fees to third-party brokers.

ACA Insights, a weekly newsletter for investment management legal and compliance professions, ran a story on the Stifel case and its implications.
