TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2021 /CNW/ - A penalty hearing has been scheduled before a Hearing Panel of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) in the matter of Yonathan Chanoch Shields.

The Hearing Panel will consider the penalty to be imposed as a result of their decision dated July 20, 2021, which found that Mr. Shields acted contrary to Dealer Member Rules 1300.1(a) and 1300.1(q). Mr. Shields implemented a high-risk options on futures trading strategy for nine clients. The clients suffered a combined loss of approximately $1.2 million USD

The Hearing Panel's liability decision is available at:

The penalty hearing is open to the public unless the Hearing Panel orders otherwise.
