It was the first payment of a total $306 million that the Commission will make. Since the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002, the SEC has returned more than $3.2 billion to injured investors through fair fund distributions.

“We are very pleased to begin distributing the MFS fair fund to investors injured by past market-timing misconduct,” said David Bergers, director of the SEC’s Boston regional office.
