  • Keynote Address Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo Before The National Grain And Feed Association Annual Conference - “What Washington Giveth, Washington Can Taketh Away”

    Date 14/03/2016

    Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your warm welcome. Before I begin, let me say that my remarks reflect my own views and do not necessarily constitute the views of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission), my fellow CFTC commissioners or the CFTC staff.

    At the outset, let me be very transparent. I am a life-long New Jerseyan. Although agriculture is an important part of New Jersey’s economy, I worked in New York City and London for most of my career, first as a lawyer, and then as an executive for a financial firm that operated trading platforms for derivatives. I did not grow up on a farm.

  • Remarks To The Investment Company Institute’s 2016 Mutual Funds And Investment Management Conference, David W. Grim, Director, SEC Division Of Investment Management, Orlando, Florida, March 14, 2016

    Date 14/03/2016

    Introduction

    Good morning, everyone, and thank you, David, for that kind introduction, as well as for inviting me to speak here today. Before I begin, let me remind everyone that the views I express here today are solely my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission, the Commissioners, or any of my colleagues on the staff of the Commission.

    I am very pleased to be here with all of you today, and to deliver the keynote address for this year’s conference. It is also a pleasure to be joined at the conference by several of my colleagues from the Commission’s staff, who will participate in a number of panels over the next few days. In addition to staff members from other Divisions at the Commission, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from several talented and experienced members of the Division of Investment Management. They include Diane Blizzard, Associate Director of the Division’s Rulemaking office, who will anchor the regulatory panel for, I believe, the third year running; Sarah ten Siethoff, an Assistant Director in our Rulemaking office, who will participate in what I am sure will be an informative discussion of liquidity risk management; Matt Giordano, the Division’s Chief Accountant, who will update you on various accounting matters; Chris Stavrakos, a senior analyst in our Risk and Examinations office, who will discuss the Commission’s data analytics initiatives; and Dan Townley, an Attorney Fellow in our New York office, who will discuss the use of derivatives. I know each of them will have useful insights to offer on these and other topics.
