  • Concurring Statement Regarding The Proposed Customer Protection Rulemaking, CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers

    Date 23/10/2012

    Today the Commission has proposed a new set of rules to, among other things, increase customer protections and disclosures, strengthen risk management programs, and enhance auditing and examination procedures for futures commission merchants (FCMs). In light of the recent events surrounding MF Global and Peregrine, I am, of course, supportive of such steps to the extent that they lead to greater customer protection and increased customer awareness of the risks associated with their futures and swaps accounts.

  • SIFMA President & CEO Tim Ryan Remarks - SIFMA 2012 Annual Meeting

    Date 23/10/2012

  • Concurring Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O'Malia Regarding The Proposed Customer, Protection Rulemaking

    Date 23/10/2012

    In response to the Peregrine and MF Global failures, the Commission has proposed a new set of rules to enhance the level of protection afforded customers of the futures markets. In particular, the proposal calls for FCMs to maintain adequate capital in their customer accounts to ensure customers are not bearing the credit risk of their fellow customers, implement controls around the risks specific to a particular FCM's business, increase the level of disclosures provided to customers, and create an independent segregation account balance verification system. While these measures are a good start, I believe that it is essential to focus on a comprehensive technological solution that goes beyond what the Commission has proposed in this release. Technology can be a cost effective oversight tool for both customers and the Commission to enhance transparency and improve risk management. Improving our capacity to monitor money flows can serve as a significant deterrent against fraudulent behavior.

  • Keynote Address At The National Society Of Compliance Professionals National Meeting By SEC Commissioner Daniel M. Gallagher

    Date 23/10/2012

    Thank you, Lee [Augsburger], for your very kind introduction and for inviting me to speak this morning. I’d like to take a moment to congratulate the NSCP on the occasion of its 25thanniversary, which I understand you celebrated last night. Coincidentally, tomorrow marks the first anniversary of my Senate confirmation. They say a “dog year” is equal to seven human years. Given the pace and volume of the SEC’s rulemaking in this post-Sarbanes-Oxley, post-Dodd-Frank era, sometimes it feels like my first “Commissioner year” was equal to about 25 years as well.
