By Martha Baker


Known investment firm in Canonsburg has been the talk of the town lately after they were featured in headlines of newspapers which involves a case settlement. The investment firm of Peter Elish was investigated according to law after allegedly operating illegally. Many were astonished with what happened as the company had a lot of satisfied customers, so no one saw what was coming.

The news made a huge stir to the public as they have known the company as one of the good companies. Before proceeding to what was the news all about, here is a short recap of their background. The stock brokerage independent company was created on 1989 by both Mr. Elish and his father, Elish being the founder.

As mentioned above, their company is independent. This made them to not use what the other brokerage firm is using which is the quota system. Now, this allowed him to develop a stock picking system which was beneficial for him and for the customers too. This has become their turning point for their business to boom.

Going back into the case. After the investigation was made by the state of Bureau of Securities Compliance and Examinations, the result was positive, that indeed the firm has done some violations. This ended up with a voluntary consent agreement made by the firm itself to save them from further punishment.

The exact amount that they will be paying would be five thousand dollars. This is going to be the legal and investigative cost from the lawsuit that were filed against them for violating the state Security Act under the Act 1972. Mr. Elish the founder did not deny this, but he did not admit also that they indeed made such violation.

According to the documents presented in the state of court which was filed on March 29, Peter have failed in the supervision of agents which are under him. Not only that, his broker and dealer firm were also not able to maintain their written supervisory procedure in different manner. Such procedure is necessary for the business.

The investigation that was done by the Department of Banking and Securities bureau started on March 2016. According to them, the written procedure done by Peter was not only unorganized but also failed in keeping up information whenever there are changes which is a rule from the Financial Industrial Regulatory Authority.

FIRA is private corporation which is short for Financial Industrial Regulatory Authority. They were assigned and given task by the U. S. Government to manage the broker dealer industry which is constantly growing in the market. Still according to them, the firm itself were not able to comply rules in regards with activities done by them outside their supervision.

When you are on this kind of business your materials should be always in trend, and they have to be accurate. Now, both accuracy and current was not met and their firm has been on the operation since year 1989. The moment the law discovered their violation they called Mr. Elish right away however no answers was made. They have already given statement for the people.
