  • Proposed Plan of Distribution
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Before the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING File No. 3-20171 : In the Matter of : PROPOSED PLAN OF : DISTRIBUTION Robinhood Financial, LLC, : : Respondent. : I. OVERVIEW 1. Purpose. This Proposed Plan of Distribution (“Plan”) has been developed pursuant to Rule 1101 of the Commission’s Rules on Fair Fund and Disgorgement Plans (“Commission Rules”), 17 C.F.R. § 201.1101. The Plan proposes a distribution of the civil money penalty paid by Robinhood Financial, LLC (“Robinhood” or “Respondent”) to customers who were harmed as a result of Robinhood’s false and misleading disclosures beginning July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019, inclusive (“Harm Period”). 2. Background. On December 17, 2020, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order (the “Order”)1 against Robinhood. The Commission found material misrepresentations and omissions by Robinhood relating to its revenue sources, specifically its receipt of payments from certain principal trading firms, for routing Robinhood customer orders to them. In the Order the Commission found that Robinhood launched its retail brokerage business in 2015, and by mid-2018, it was one of the largest retail broker-dealers in the United States. One of Robinhood’s primary selling points was that it did not charge its customers trading commissions. In reality, however, “commission free” trading at Robinhood came with a catch: Robinhood’s customers received inferior execution prices compared to what they would have received from Robinhood’s competitors.

The name of the game is innovation. How can companies innovate to stay relevant in the minds of their consumers while also remaining profitable? The investment industry has seen one of the biggest evolutions this century. If someone were asked what the investment industry looked like 15-20 years ago, their response would most likely depict a trading floor, lots of yelling and screaming, money-hungry brokers, and complicated numbers and symbols on a bunch of screens that they do not even want to try to understand. Technology and the idea of Corporate Social Responsibility has vastly changed that view.

  • A Real Life Robinhood Story (One That Might Not End Well)
    A real life Robinhood story (one that might not end well) Some DIY day-traders are making money at the hands of the rich. Should you be worried? By Larry Edelman Globe Columnist,Updated January 28, 2021, 8:14 p.m. A protester held a sign outside of Robinhood’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on Thursday after the stock-trading app said it would limit trades of GameStop.IAN C. BATES/NYT It’s fitting that the online trading app with the name of Robinhood is playing a starring role in the GameStop black comedy. The story of how GameStop’s stock went from under $20 to above $500 at one point in a matter of days is, after all, one of separating the rich (Wall Street pros) from their money. And we love to root for ordinary folk (DIY investors) — so much, in fact, that we may overlook the darker elements of their actions. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/01/29/business/real-life-robinhood-story-one-that-might-not-end-well/ But it’s those darker elements that hold an important warning for all investors, even if you’re a buy- and-hold retirement saver who sticks with low-cost mutual funds. On the off-chance you haven’t consumed any news media in the past week, GameStop is the videogame retailer whose stock had been left for dead until it became the focus of a prank-turned- social media phenomenon in mid-January. That’s when individual investors who congregate on an Internet forum called WallStreetBets banded together to drive up GameStop’s stock price and inflict losses on the billionaire hedge fund managers and other elite traders who had made a lot of money betting against the company.

  • Robinhood/Online Brokers: All of a Quiver | Financial Times
    08.06.2020 Robinhood/online brokers: all of a quiver | Financial Times Opinion Lex Robinhood/online brokers: all of a quiver Stock-buying app raises $280m, but the battle for retail investors will get tougher Robinhood has added more than 3m funded accounts since the start of the year © Bloomberg MAY 27 2020 Robinhood is proving it still has some arrows left in its quiver. The zero-commission stock-buying app successfully raised $280m from investors led by Sequoia Capital earlier this month. The new post-money valuation of $8.3bn is a slight gain on the $7.6bn the business was valued at less than a year ago. Still, it is bucking the trend of many Silicon Valley start-ups that have begun to sell themselves at a discount amid the coronavirus-triggered market upheaval. For this, Robinhood may have America’s legion of frustrated sports punters to thank. Just a few months ago, Robinhood’s business model appeared in serious jeopardy. It pioneered and popularised free stock trading, particularly among millennials. But its main selling point evaporated almost overnight after big, established online brokerages such as Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade and ETrade all announced plans to scrap trading fees. Then in March, Robinhood’s systems suffered three outages over eight days of wild trading, including during the huge rally on March 2. Customers threatened to sue the company and take their businesses to rival platforms. https://www.ft.com/content/d72bb495-82ec-4681-a62a-ec2b705b7dc0 1/2 08.06.2020 Robinhood/online brokers: all of a quiver | Financial Times Then came the lockdown orders.

  • Consumers Beware: How Are Your Favorite “Free” Investment Apps Regulated?
    CONSUMERS BEWARE: HOW ARE YOUR FAVORITE “FREE” INVESTMENT APPS REGULATED? SIQI WANG†1 ABSTRACT The proliferation of free or low-cost investment apps has disrupted the financial industry in recent years. Major brokerage firms have been pressured to go to zero fees due to intense competition from their fintech counterparts. While these apps have extended their products and services to those underserved by traditional brokers, some of their practices raise consumer protection concerns. Namely, the practice of “payment for order flow,” which helps fintech startups sustain a zero-commission model, could lead to subordinating customers’ best interest to market makers who acquire their retail orders from these fintech startups. Further, “cash management accounts,” newly popular among fintech startups with an ambition to compete with chartered banks raise questions about the use of idle customer assets and the protections afforded to these accounts in case of liquidation. This Note considers the products and services of these investment apps in the context of existing U.S. regulations and regulators for broker-dealers, investment advisors, and chartered banks. To illustrate this, this Note analyzes the potential consumer financial protection issues arising out of these fintech-based investment platforms’ distinctive business models and the services they provide. INTRODUCTION Robinhood, Acorns, Betterment, Stash, and other free or low-cost investment apps make it easier than ever for every smartphone user to invest on the go, with zero experience and little more than pocket change. These kinds of apps are exploding right now, appealing mainly to young people because of their “low barriers to entry, automation and familiar tap- swipe-buy, Tinder-style interface.”2 For almost all of these apps, all users have to do is first download the app, then set up a profile that lets the company behind the app know the best kinds of investment suitable for the user’s risk averseness and return expectations, and finally connect a bank account to give access to some funds and be done.

  • Trading in the Time of Covid: a Robinhood Bromance
    TRADING IN THE TIME OF COVID: A ROBINHOOD..., 28 No. 2 PIABA B.J. 159 28 No. 2 PIABA B.J. 159 PIABA Bar Journal 2021 Melanie Cherdack a1 Copyright © 2021 by Melanie S. Cherdack, All Rights Reserved. TRADING IN THE TIME OF COVID: A ROBINHOOD BROMANCE Introduction In ancient times, circa 1960, an investor would dial his stockbroker on a rotary phone, place an order to purchase shares in IBM stock, the broker would call his trader on the floor of the NYSE, the trader would make a bid to the specialist for the shares, the buy order would be matched with an order to sell, the trade would be recorded with a pencil and a scrap of paper, the order would be filled, the stock certificate would be sent through the mail, and the investor would hold the shares for decades. Not so anymore. Every aspect of investing has changed. The types of securities sold, the proliferation of exchanges, and the disparate trading systems have altered the ways in which the business of securities trading is conducted. 1 And, the era of algorithms and electronic high speed trading, 2 coupled with individual investors' ease of access to the markets through apps and trading platforms, has drastically changed the nature of trading securities. With that, the profile of the individual investor has also morphed. Suffice it to say, “Its not your father's stock market anymore.” An App Is Born The shift to discount brokerage firms and internet trading through platforms like E*Trade and Charles Schwab opened the markets to include a *160 new breed of individual investor seeking to make investments on their own without the use of a traditional broker.
