Dallas-based registered investment adviser Anson Funds Management and Toronto-based exempt reporting adviser Anson Advisors were fined $1.25 million and $1 million, respectively, by the Securities and Exchange Commission for issuing misleading statements about securities that Anson Funds held short positions on, the SEC said in an administrative proceeding Tuesday.
