Extractions: Deputy Securities Administrator David Massey, 919-733-3924 Important notice of fee increases Important Investment Advisor Registration News The Securities Division is responsible for administering the state's securities laws. These "blue sky" laws, as they are known, are contained in Chapters 78A and 78C of the General Statutes. The intent of these laws is to protect the investing public by requiring a satisfactory investigation of both the people who offer securities as investments and of the securities themselves. The Securities Division addresses investor complaints concerning securities brokers and dealers, investment advisers and commodity dealers as well as complaints about offerings of particular investment vehicles. Although the Division cannot represent an investor in a claim for monetary damages, the staff can investigate alleged violations and may suspend or revoke licenses, issue stop orders against securities offerings, issue cease-and-desist orders, seek court-ordered injunctions or refer matters to an appropriate district attorney for criminal prosecution. Conviction of willfully violating the securities statutes carries the penalty of a felony. The Division is also responsible for the registration of athlete agents, loan brokers and investment advisers. The Division also administers the Qualified Business Tax Credit Program in which investors may obtain tax credits based on money invested in qualified business ventures and in qualified grantee businesses both registered by the Secretary of State.
