CFTC Announces Enhancements To Protect Customer Funds - Commission Grants Exemption To Facilitate Customer Accounts For Clearinghouses At Federal Reserve Banks - CFTC Staff Also Announces No-Action Relief And Rule Interpretation Regarding The Use Of Money Market Funds By FCMs And DCOs

Date 08/08/2016

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today announced three separate measures that are designed to enhance the protection of customer funds. The CFTC approved an order to exempt Federal Reserve Banks that maintain customer accounts for derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) from liability under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). In addition, the CFTC’s Divisions of Clearing and Risk (DCR) and Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (DSIO) issued separate interpretative and no-action letters regarding the use of money market funds (MMFs) by DCOs and futures commission merchants (FCMs).
Concurring Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Sharon Y. Bowen Regarding The Order Exempting The Federal Reserve Banks From Sections 4d And 22 Of The Commodity Exchange Act And Written Acknowledgment Of Customer Funds From Federal Reserve Banks

Date 08/08/2016

I am pleased to concur with the two Commission actions: the “Order Exempting the Federal Reserve Banks from Sections 4d and 22 of the Commodity Exchange Act” and “Written Acknowledgment of Customer Funds from Federal Reserve Banks.” I have long believed that, in order to protect customer funds, we need to keep that money at our central bank. In the event of a major market event, I, and I believe the rest of the American people, would feel much better knowing that investors’ money is at the Federal Reserve instead of at multiple central counterparties. I am glad that our agency and the Federal Reserve have come to an agreement on an effective way to accomplish this.
