Docket No.: 25_0021____(SEC-OSC)
## CONSENT AGREEMENT AND ORDER
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of Banking and Securities (“Department”), Bureau of Securities Compliance and Examinations (“Bureau”), has conducted an investigation of the business practices of Renvyle Partners, LLC (“RP”) and its officers and employees. Based on the results of its investigation, the Bureau has concluded that RP has operated in violation of the Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972, 70 P.S. § 1-101 *et seq.* (“1972 Act”). RP, in lieu of litigation, and without admitting or denying the allegations herein, and intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees to the terms of this Consent Agreement and Order (“Order”).
## BACKGROUND
1. The Department is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s administrative agency authorized and empowered to administer and enforce the 1972 Act.
2. The Bureau is primarily responsible for administering and enforcing the 1972 Act for the Department.
3. Renvyle Partners, LLC (“RP”), CRD # 140201, was, at all material times herein, a Pennsylvania limited liability company with an address at 43 East Oakland Avenue, Doylestown, Pennsylvania 18901.
4. From on or about April 26, 2006 until the present, RP was registered pursuant to Section 301(c) of the 1972 Act, 70 P.S. § 1-301(c), as an investment adviser.
5. From in or about January 2018 through June 2023, RP did not maintain a reasonable system for applying and enforcing written procedures pertaining to the purchase, sale and exchange of inverse and leveraged exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) on behalf of its clients who were residents of Pennsylvania.
## VIOLATION
6. By engaging in the acts and conduct set forth in paragraphs 3 through 5 above, RP failed to establish and maintain written procedures with respect to leveraged ETFs and a system for applying and enforcing those written procedures which are reasonably designed to achieve compliance with the 1972 Act and other securities laws and regulations, and failed to keep a copy of the written procedures with respect to leveraged ETFs at each location where it conducted business, which acts and conduct form a basis to deny, suspend, revoke, or condition the registration of RP or to censure RP pursuant to Section 305(a)(v) of the 1972 Act, 70 P.S. § 1-305(a)(v), and Regulation 305.011(a), (c), 10 Pa. Code § 305.011(a), (c), promulgated thereunder.
## RELIEF
7. RP shall pay the Department an administrative assessment in the amount of $40,000.00. Payment shall be made by certified check or money order made payable to the “Department of Banking and Securities” and shall be mailed or delivered in person to the Bureau
of Securities Compliance and Examinations located at 17 N. Second Street, Suite 1300, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17101. The assessment shall be paid as follows:

8. This Order is not intended to indicate that RP or any of its affiliates or current or former employees should be subject to any disqualification contained in the federal securities laws, the rules and regulations thereunder, the rules and regulations of self-regulatory organizations or various states’ securities laws, including the provisions of the 1972 Act and regulations promulgated thereunder; and any disqualification from relying upon the registration exemptions or safe harbor provisions, and this Order is not intended to form the basis of any such disqualification.
9. RP is ORDERED to comply with the 1972 Act, and Regulations adopted by the Department, and in particular Section 305(a)(v) of the 1972 Act, 70 P.S. § 1-305(a)(v).
10. Should RP fail to pay the assessment as set forth in paragraph 7 above, the sanctions set forth elsewhere in the Order shall continue in full force and effect until full payment is made. However, this provision shall not be construed as affording RP the option of either paying the assessment or being indefinitely subject to the sanctions.
