Modernizing The Regulatory Framework For Funds’ Use Of Derivatives, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, Oct. 28, 2020
Date 28/10/2020
Good morning. This is an open meeting of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, under the Government in the Sunshine Act.
Today, we are considering a new rule to provide an updated and comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment funds, including mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). I have spoken before on the importance of modernization—ensuring that the implementation of our time-tested, long term investor-oriented regulatory structure keeps pace with today’s marketplace—to the Commission’s mission and our markets more generally.[1] I have no doubt that this commitment to modernization, which flows through the 4,500-strong SEC staff, greatly enhanced our ability and the ability of market participants more generally to both absorb and respond to the market and operational stresses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joint Statement Regarding Complex Financial Products And Retail Investors, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, Dalia Blass, Director, Division of Investment Management, William Hinman, Director, Division of Corporation Finance, Brett Redfearn, Director, Division of Trading and Markets
Date 28/10/2020
Retail investors have a wide array of investment options available to them, including an increasing number and type of investment products that are more complex than conventional stock and bond investments. These complex products may be exchange-traded or sold directly to investors. Among these products are “leveraged/inverse” products, which seek to provide leveraged or inverse exposure to an underlying index by a specified multiple (e.g., 2x), generally on a daily basis, as well as products that provide investment exposure to less conventional assets, including commodity prices. We believe that these leveraged/inverse products and other complex products may present investor protection issues—particularly for retail investors who may not fully appreciate the particular characteristics or risks of such investments, including the risks that holding such products may pose to their investment goals.

ACER: Whilst Gas Wholesale Markets For The Most Part Function Efficiently, Challenges Remain For Both Electricity And Retail Energy Markets Across Europe
Date 28/10/2020
Progress has been identified regarding the integration of the gas and electricity wholesale markets in the EU with an estimated 75% of the gas consumed benefitting from well-integrated markets. However, significant challenges remain in delivering a well-integrated electricity market with delays in the delivery of market coupling and insufficient utilisation of interconnectors hampering progress. At the retail level, markets continue to show divergences between Member States regarding the price paid for energy and the level of consumer engagement. In some markets, supplier switching rates and therefore access to better prices exceed 20% while in others switching rates are much lower.
