"What is troubling in this case is that, after the fund's prospectus was
amended to put new restrictions in place specifically to discourage market
timing, Diversified selectively permitted certain customers to carry out
hundreds of market timing exchanges," said James Shorris, NASD Senior Vice
President and Acting Head of Enforcement., the funds' investment advisor and Diversified's
parent company.
NASD also found that while the prospectus limitations were not applied to
the two groups of accounts with market timing agreements, approximately 80
letters were sent by a Diversified registered representative to other
identified market timers, including investors who purchased and sold as little
as $5,000 per trade. For more information, please visit
