Kornitzer Capital Management (KCM) Sanctioned by the SEC for Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Despite warnings by board members, CEO John Kornitzer and KCM left investors behind by ignoring their own funds’ policies and packing them with a single, high-risk asset. Instead of the 10% maximum specified by policy, KCM allowed four of its Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) to acquire concentrations from 30% to as much as 89% in Lions Gate Entertainment. When that stock dropped significantly, investors lost big.

How Does This Affect You?
The SEC sanction reveals that KCM was warned repeatedly, beginning as early as 2016 to correct the problem and bring concentrations into compliance. John Kornitzer promised the board he would, yet failed to act in any way until mid-to-late 2018. By then it was too late for investors. As a result of this conduct, the SEC has cited KCM for willful violations of Sect 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7.
