SEC Modifies Timing For Filing Non-Public Form N-PORT Data To Align With Its Approach To Data Management And Cybersecurity

Date 28/02/2019

The Commission today modified the submission deadlines for registered investment companies filing non-public monthly reports on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is a new form for reporting both public and non-public fund portfolio holdings to the Commission in a structured data format.  As a result of today's changes, rather than filing non-public monthly reports with the Commission within 30 days after each month-end, funds will be required to maintain the relevant information in their records and file all three monthly reports with the Commission no later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter.  The non-public monthly reports on Form N-PORT for the first and second months of the fiscal quarter will remain non-public and the monthly report for the third month will become publicly available upon filing (with the exception of certain specific data items), rather than being filed non-publicly no later than 30 days after the end of the fiscal quarter and being made public 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarter.

Remarks Of CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo At The DerivCon 2019 Conference, New York, NY

Date 27/02/2019

It is good to be back at DerivCon, or should I say, SEFCON.  

Some of you may know that I had a hand in putting together the first SEFCON in 2010, along with Chris Ferreri, Julian Harding, Scott Fitzpatrick, Shawn Bernardo and Steve Merkel.  My compliments to them and the WMBAA for the foresight in creating this important conference.  And my compliments to ISDA and the Tabb Group for keeping it going.  It is remarkable that issues in SEF trading remain so topical nine years later.
