On February 2, 2006, the Commissioner entered into a Stipulation and Agreement with Comprehensive Capital Management, Inc., an SEC-registered investment adviser located at 2001 Route 46, Suite 506, Parsippany, New Jersey.  The Stipulation and Agreement alleged that from approximately August 4, 2004 until August 19, 2005, the firm engaged an unregistered investment adviser agent at its Woodbury, Connecticut office in contravention of Section 36b-6(c) of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act; and that from approximately 2003 to August 3, 2005, the firm transacted investment advisory business in Connecticut without having filed the requisite notice.  The notice was filed and the investment adviser agent registered after the agency brought the issues to the firm’s attention.  Pursuant to the Stipulation and Agreement, the firm agreed to implement revised procedures to ensure compliance with state investment advisory notice filing requirements and all statutory requirements governing the registration of affected personnel as investment adviser agents.  In addition, the firm agreed to pay $3,000 to the department.  Of that amount, $1,500 constituted an administrative fine for failing to timely file the notice required by Section 36b-6(c) of the Act, $1,000 constituted an administrative fine for failing to register its investment adviser agent and $500 represented past due notice filing and registration fees.
