NFA Approves Amendments to Customer Funds Reporting Requirements

On August 16, the National Futures Association (NFA) approved amendments to NFA Financial Requirements that will require a futures commissions merchant (FCM) to provide its Designated SRO with view-only access via the internet to account information for each of the FCM’s customer segregated funds accounts maintained and held at a bank or trust company.  Designated SROs would be able to review this information at any time against an FCM’s daily segregation report.  The amendments have been sent to the CFTC for approval.  NFA Release.
