Concurring Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham Regarding Proposed Amendments To Clearing Member Funds Requirements

Date 19/12/2023

I concur on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Protection of Clearing Member Funds Held by Derivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs) (Proposed Amendments to Clearing Member Funds Requirements or Proposal) because it seeks to protect the proprietary funds of futures commission merchants (FCMs), and I understand that it essentially codifies the existing good practices most of the CFTC’s registered DCOs already follow.

I also renew my call for an Office of the Retail Advocate. Both of these steps would better ensure customer protection in our regulated markets.
