Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero: Swap Confirmations For The Future - Notice Of Proposed Rule Making For Swap Confirmation Requirements For Swap Execution Facilities

Date 26/07/2023

The regulation of swap markets, as mandated by Dodd-Frank Act reforms, is predicated on transparency, reporting, and recordkeeping. Swap execution facilities (SEF) registered with the CFTC are required under core principle 10 to maintain records of all activities, including a complete audit trail. Commission regulations require a SEF to provide a confirmation of transactions to counterparties, including a written record of all of the terms of the transaction, and to obtain copies of underlying, previously negotiated agreements between the counterparties.
SEC Proposes Reforms Relating To Investment Advisers Operating Exclusively Through The Internet

Date 26/07/2023

The Securities and Exchange Commission today proposed amendments to the rule permitting certain investment advisers that provide investment advisory services through the internet to register with the Commission. The proposed amendments generally would require an investment adviser relying on the internet adviser registration rule to have at all times an operational interactive website through which the adviser provides digital investment advisory services on an ongoing basis to more than one client. The proposed amendments would also eliminate the de minimis exception from the current rule by proposing to require that an internet investment adviser provide advice to all of its clients exclusively through an operational interactive website, and make certain corresponding changes to Form ADV.

Date 26/07/2023

Today, the Commission is considering a proposal to address conflicts of interest that may emerge when investment advisers and broker-dealers use predictive data analytics or similar techniques to craft their interactions with investors.

For example, in 2023, exchanges listed new metals contracts for lithium and molybdenum to meet growing demand in response to the historic investment in and demand for electric vehicles and batteries.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero: Clearinghouse Reporting As A Cornerstone To Monitoring Risk And Promoting Financial Stability - Final Rule On Reporting And Information Requirements For Derivatives Clearing Organizations

Date 26/07/2023

Clearinghouses play an important public interest role—they are critical market infrastructure intended to foster financial stability, trust, and confidence in U.S. markets. Dodd-Frank Act reforms increased central clearing, thereby increasing financial stability. Those reforms also concentrated risk in clearinghouses. With that concentrated risk, it is critical that the Commission maintain vigilance in its oversight over clearinghouses to identify and monitor risk and promote financial stability. This is most important for the CFTC’s monitoring of systemic risk.
