Credit Suisse Securities LLC has agreed to pay $5 million to the SEC and $5 million to New York to settle charges of violating the Securities Act by making material misrepresentations about retail customer orders. Between 2011 to 2015, the company allegedly failed to disclose to retail customers that their electronic system gave preferential treatment to orders that had a public reporting component over orders that did not. Additionally, the routing tactic used by the system gave customers of these non-reported orders less favorable execution prices. NY AG; SEC
