Dissenting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham On SEC-CFTC Joint Final Rule On Form PF

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) have entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”), under which the SEC will grant the CFTC unrestricted access to all data submitted by all Form PF filers. Because the MOU contains a number of deficiencies, we dissent.
