CALGARY, June 6, 2012 /CNW/ - The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) has accepted an undertaking from Prism Group of Companies Inc. in regards to a prohibited representation that appeared on a website controlled by the company.  The representation was an unqualified statement that two investment opportunities being advertised on the website offered a "60% Potential Return Over 3 Years."
