PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED AGAINST THEODORE CHARLES SIHPOL III, A FORMER BROKER
AT BANC OF AMERICA SECURITIES LLC, FOR ENABLING CERTAIN HEDGE FUND CUSTOMERS
TO "LATE TRADE" MUTUAL FUNDS
The Commission today announced that it has instituted administrative
and cease-and-desist proceedings pursuant to Section 8A of the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Sections 15(b) and 21C of

investment adviser pursuant to the Advisers Act. Sihpol, a
resident of New Canaan, Connecticut, was a broker in BAS' high-net
worth group located in New York.

("ET"), but receiving the price based on the prior net asset value
already determined as of 4 00 p.m. Permitting late trading violates
the federal securities laws concerning the price at which mutual fund
shares must be bought or sold and defrauds innocent investors in those
mutual funds by giving to the late trader an advantage not available
to other investors.
The Division of Enforcement alleges that Sihpol engaged in the
