NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BGC Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: BGCP), a leading inter-dealer broker of financial instruments, today issued the following statement regarding the settlement reached by Jennifer James, a Senior Vice President/Broker, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), as to an Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) between Ms. James and FINRA relating to her previous ICAP employment over two years ago.
“Ms. James is now a highly valued member of BGC who has earned the respect and confidence of her clients over the course of her distinguished career. We are glad she has finally closed this final chapter of her ICAP employment.
BGC was never involved in FINRA’s investigation. These events took place while Ms. James was employed by ICAP and Ms. James acted at the direction, and with the knowledge, of her then-employer, ICAP.
BGC understands and supports Ms. James’ desire to reach a settlement in order to finally put this matter behind her.”
