SECURITIES AND BUSINESS INVESTMENTS DIVISION ACTIVITY

On February 15, 2019, the Banking Commissioner entered into a Stipulation and Agreement(No. ST-19-8479-S) with Silver Pine Capital, LLC, an applicant for investment adviser registration located at 70 North Street, Suite 2A, Medfield, Massachusetts 02052. The firm had previously been registered as an investment adviser in Connecticut. In conjunction with its reapplication, the firm disclosed that, from 2018 forward, the number of Connecticut clients to whom it had rendered investment advisory services exceeded the ceiling for claiming an exemption from registration under Section 36b-6(e) of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act.

In resolution of the matter, the firm agreed to comply with all statutory requirements governing investment advisers and their operations and to pay $1,265 to the agency. Of that amount, $1,000 constituted an administrative penalty and $265 represented reimbursement for past due registration fees for the firm and its investment adviser agents.
