Osman Nawaz, SEC Chief of Enforcement&#8217;s Complex Financial Instruments Unit, said in a statement: &#8220;Titan&#8217;s advertisements and disclosures painted a misleading picture of [certainty] of its strategies for investors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The agency said Titan &#8220;cooperated with the investigation&#8221; and under the order consented to the entry of the finding that it violated the Advisers Act.<\/p>\n<p>It went on to allege that after conducting compliance reviews, Titan discovered a &#8220;widespread practice of applying client signatures to client account documents submitted
