Regulatory Reform Opportunity for change OTC instruments are subject to global regulatory reform. By late 2012 institutional & retail traders and brokers under the Wall Street & Consumer Protection Act (Dodd Frank) will be required to execute trades via regulated swap execution facilities (SEF’s). Globally, regulators are tightening rules and emulating the Dodd Frank Act.

SEF Rules definition CFTC

Wall Street & Consumer Protection Act (Dodd Frank)

Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection (Dodd–Frank) Act lays the foundation defining a SEF as a “facility, trading system or platform in which multiple participants have the ability to execute or trade swaps by accepting bids and offers made by other participants that are open

to multiple participants in the facility or system”.

Cleartrade Exchange comfortably satisfies this definition

Summary of SEF Principles These are the core principles to which a SEF must adhere are:

(1) Complying with the CEA and the CFTC rules, (2) Enforcing trade processes for market participants that will deter abuses, ensure impartial access to markets and capture information on rule violations, (3) Preventing swaps from being readily susceptible to manipulation, (4) Monitoring trading to prevent manipulation, price distortion and disruptions of the delivery or cash settlement processes, (5) Establishing rules to obtain information to provide to the CFTC, (6) Establishing position limitations and accountability to prevent market manipulation or congestion, (7) Establishing mechanisms for ensuring financial integrity of swaps, (8) Establishing an emergency procedure to liquidate or transfer open positions in a swap or suspend trading on the swap, (9) Publishing trading information such as public information on price, trading volume and other data, (10) Maintaining records of activities, including a “complete audit trail” for a five year period (11) Not unreasonably restraining trade, (12) Establishing rules for minimizing and resolving conflicts of interest, (13) Providing adequate financial resources, (14) Establishing system safeguards and (15) Assigning a chief compliance officer who reviews compliance with core principles & CFTC rules.
