the Securities and Exchange Commission announced this matter on July 10, 2017 as release 3-14676. The respondents named are Wanger and Eric David Wanger Investment Management, Inc. (1 individual, 1 entity).

This library tags the matter as marking the close, based on the conduct the regulator describes. Each tag links to a page explaining how that technique works, what statute it engages, and what penalties comparable actions have attracted. The tagging is ours, not the regulator's: agencies charge statutory provisions, not technique names.

The conduct is recorded against bonds.

The relief recorded in our data is a civil monetary penalty of $75,000. Penalty and disgorgement are distinct: disgorgement returns the gain, while the penalty is punitive. We store them separately so that aggregate figures across the library are not double-counted.

Non-monetary relief recorded: registration bar.

The action was dismissed. We keep dismissed matters in the library precisely so that the outcome is visible alongside the original allegation.
