  • CFTC: Frequently Asked Questions Regarding The Post-Trade Name Give-Up Rule In Commission Regulation 37.9(D)

    Date 04/11/2020

    On June 25, 2020, the CFTC approved a new rule under § 37.9(d) of its regulations (PTNGU rule). The new rule prohibits a SEF from directly or indirectly disclosing the identity of a counterparty to a swap that is (i) intended to be cleared, and (ii) executed, pre-arranged, or pre-negotiated anonymously on, or pursuant to the rules of, a SEF (PTNGU prohibition).[1] The PTNGU prohibition does not apply to swaps that are not intended to be executed anonymously, such as trades done via a name-disclosed request for quote.[2] The PTNGU rule also requires a SEF to establish and enforce rules that prohibit any person from effectuating such a disclosure.[3] The PTNGU rule provides an exception to the prohibition on post-trade name give-up for package transactions that include a component transaction that is not a swap intended to be cleared.[4] The Commission adopted the PTNGU rule with a phased compliance schedule. For swaps that are “made available to trade” and therefore subject to the trade execution requirement under Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) section 2(h)(8)[5] (MAT swaps), SEFs must comply with § 37.9(d) no later than November 1, 2020. For swaps not subject to the trade execution requirement under CEA section 2(h)(8), SEFs must comply with § 37.9(d) no later than July 5, 2021.
