NEW YORK, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust has agreed to pay $79.8 million to settle charges in connection with overvaluing collateralized mortgage obligations $(CMO)$ held in advisory accounts, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said.
The regulator found the registered investment adviser over-valued about 4,900 largely illiquid CMOs in 20 advisory accounts, including 11 retail funds and also executed hundreds of cross trades that favored certain clients over others.
