  • Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Dan M. Berkovitz On Proposed Amendments To Part 43: Real-Time Public Reporting Requirements

    Date 20/02/2020

    Introduction

    I am voting to issue for public comment the proposed rulemaking that would amend certain rules requiring real-time public reporting of swap trades.  The proposal is intended to enhance the existing real-time public reporting framework adopted in 2012.  Although I am voting to issue the proposal for public comment, I do not support the provision in the proposal that would permit a 48-hour delay in the reporting of block trades.  A 48-hour delay for all block trades is too long.

  • Statements Of Concurrence By CFTC Commissioner Rostin Behnam Regarding Proposed Rules On Real-Time Public Reporting And Swap Data Recordkeeping, February 20, 2020, Real-Time Public Reporting Requirements (Part 43)

    Date 20/02/2020

    I respectfully concur in the Commission’s proposal to amend certain real-time public reporting requirements.  I support the Commission’s ongoing review of its swap reporting rules; however, I think it is very important that we not lose sight of why we have these rules in the first place.  Prior to the 2008 financial crisis, swaps were largely exempt from regulation and traded exclusively over-the-counter.[1]  Lack of transparency in the over-the-counter swaps market contributed to the financial crisis because both regulators and market participants lacked the visibility necessary to identify and assess swaps market exposures and counterparty relationships and counterparty credit risk.[2]  In the aftermath of the financial crisis, Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act).[3]  The Dodd-Frank Act largely incorporated the international financial reform initiatives for over-the-counter derivatives laid out at the 2009 G20 Pittsburgh Summit, which sought to improve transparency, mitigate systemic risk, and protect against market abuse.[4]  With respect to data reporting, the policy initiative developed by the G20 focused on establishing a consistent and standardized global data set across jurisdictions in order to support regulatory efforts to timely identify systemic risk.  The critical need and importance of this policy goal given the consequences of the financial crisis cannot be understated.

  • Ontario Securities Commission Proposes Rule To Restrict Use Of Deferred Sales Charge Option

    Date 20/02/2020

    The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) today published for comment a proposed rule that would restrict the use of the deferred sales charge (DSC) option in the sale of mutual funds. The proposed rule is intended to address negative investor outcomes by limiting the circumstances in which mutual funds with the DSC option can be sold and by giving clients greater flexibility to redeem these investments without penalties.
