Private equity firm Fenway Partners and four executives will pay over $10 million to settle SEC charges of failure to disclose conflicts of interest. An SEC investigation found that Fenway and the charged executives did not fully disclose to a client fund and investors the details of several transactions involving more than $20 million in payments by the client fund or affiliated portfolio companies. In short, investors were not told that portfolio company fees were rerouted to a Fenway affiliate, allowing Fenway to avoid providing the benefits of those fees to the client in the form of management fee offsets.
