For the third year in a row, Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments Inc., a boutique broker-dealer that works with brokers leaving Wall Street to set up their own registered investment advisers, is paying a steep award to clients who sued the firm.
Purshe Kaplan struck a $1.6 million settlement with 50 clients on March 1 who had sued the firm in arbitration run by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., according to the company’s annual audited financial statement, known as a Focus report, which it filed last Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
