Madison Capital Funding LLC Extension Order February 2027
Summary
The SEC granted the Division of Enforcement an extension until February 24, 2027 to submit a Proposed Plan of Distribution for the Madison Capital Fair Fund. The underlying February 2026 order found that Madison Capital Funding LLC violated Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act by pricing principal trades with pooled investment vehicles below fair market value during March–May 2020, breaching its fiduciary duty. The Commission ordered a $900,000 civil money penalty, which was deposited into a Fair Fund under Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for distribution to harmed investors. The Division needs additional time to complete the fund administrator solicitation process and develop the distribution methodology.
“Madison Capital failed to determine the effect of the market disruption on the fair market value of loans it had originated before the market disruption and as a result breached its fiduciary duty to the Funds and failed to act in accordance with the disclosures to investors.”

What changed
The SEC issued an Extension Order granting the Division of Enforcement additional time until February 24, 2027 to submit a Proposed Plan of Distribution for the Madison Capital Fair Fund. The underlying enforcement action found that Madison Capital violated Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-8 by pricing principal trades at non-fair-market values during the COVID-19 market disruption period of March–May 2020. The $900,000 civil penalty has been collected and deposited into a Commission-designated Treasury account, with accrued interest to be added to the Fair Fund.
Registered investment advisers should note that the SEC continues to scrutinize valuation practices during periods of market disruption, and that failure to account for market conditions when pricing securities may constitute a breach of fiduciary duty and violate adviser conduct rules. The extension grants additional time for the distribution plan but does not alter the underlying findings or penalty.

which was a period of disruption for the U.S. financial market; yet, Madison Capital failed to determine the effect of the market disruption on the fair market value of loans it had originated before the market disruption and as a result breached its fiduciary duty to the Funds and failed to act in accordance with the disclosures to investors. The Respondent willfully violated Section 206(2) and Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act, and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder. The Commission ordered, among other things, the Respondent to pay a $900,000 civil money penalty to the Commission. The Commission also created a Fair Fund, pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, so the penalty collected can be distributed to harmed investors (the "Fair Fund"). The Fair Fund consists of the $900,000 collected from the Respondent. The Fair Fund has been deposited in a Commission-designated account at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and any accrued interest will be added to the Fair Fund. In its request for an extension of time, the Division states that additional time is needed to complete the fund administrator solicitation and appointment process, develop the distribution methodology, and prepare the proposed plan of distribution. Accordingly, for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Division's request for an extension of time until February 24, 2027 to submit a Proposed Plan of Distribution is granted. For the Commission, by the Division of Enforcement, pursuant to delegated authority. 2 Vanessa A. Countryman Secretary
