Fair Funds and Disgorgement Funds

In civil court actions or in administrative hearings, the defendant (or respondent) can be ordered to pay disgorgement – a measure of the ill-gotten gains from the fraud. Where disgorgement is ordered, the judge or the Commission may also order that any money collected, including fines paid, be placed in a Fair Fund for distribution to investors who were the victims of the violation. Under this process, a plan for the administration and distribution of the funds will be developed. A claims administrator or disbursement agent often oversees the plan.

Commission rules on Fair Funds and Disgorgement Funds are available here.
