The National Futures Association (NFA) has ordered Spartan Asset Group LLC, a Michigan-based NFA Member commodity trading advisor, to withdraw from NFA membership and not reapply. The order was issued by an NFA Hearing Panel and follows a complaint brought by NFA’s Business Conduct Committee and a settlement offer submitted by Spartan in which the firm neither admitted nor denied the allegations. The complaint alleged that Spartan used promotional material it knew or should have known was deficient, breaching NFA Compliance Rule 2-29 on promotional material requirements and NFA Compliance Rule 2-4 on just and equitable principles of trade.
