Ethical Profile

Mixed.

JMP Group Inc.'s ethical profile reveals a past regulatory issue concerning honest business practices. JMP Securities was fined by FINRA for violating rules related to research analyst conflicts of interest between 2010 and 2013. Reports suggest these violations included failing to disclose conflicts and omitting investment banking relationships in research reports, alongside using contradictory disclaimers. While the specific fine amount was not detailed, this indicates a misalignment with fair business conduct. The company reportedly has policies to manage conflicts, but current practices or improvements since 2013 lack sufficient public evidence. For most other ethical categories, including worker respect, environmental impact, and community engagement, there is currently insufficient public information available to provide a detailed assessment.
