  • Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero In Support Of The CFTC’s 2023 Annual Report On The Whistleblower Program And Customer Education Initiatives

    Date 31/10/2023

    As a former Inspector General who knows firsthand how important whistleblowers are, I wholeheartedly support whistleblowers and the CFTC’s Whistleblower Program, and am very proud of the Program’s outsized results.  Cumulatively, the CFTC has awarded almost $350 million to whistleblowers, with more than $3 billion in enforcement sanctions ordered in cases associated with those awards.  This includes $16 million in awards this year, including more than $15 million to two whistleblowers who provided significant information and assistance that led the CFTC to bring separate successful enforcement cases.

  • SIFMA Statement On DOL Rule On Retirement Savings Advice

    Date 31/10/2023

    SIFMA issued the following statement from president and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. regarding a release today from the Department of Labor (DOL) related to retirement savings advice:

    “Since the Department of Labor (DOL) first proposed a change to the definition of fiduciary, the landscape has changed greatly, most notably with the introduction of the Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI). Reg BI implemented a best interest standard that did not exist at the time of the 2015 DOL re-proposal and foundationally improved the protections in place for retirement savers. SIFMA long supported a best interest standard of care for brokers. That standard is now in place – it is robust and expansive with significant duties and obligations imposed on broker-dealers that unquestionably enhances investor protection. Upon initial review, we are concerned that the Department’s newest proposal may go too far, inconsistent with existing federal regulations such as Reg BI and as a result could limit access to advice and education while also limiting investor choice in advisors.”
