CFTC: Registered Investment Company CPOs Exempted from Dual Obligations | Practical Law
The CFTC has issued a number of final CPO rules, including a rule designed to harmonize certain compliance obligations for entities that are subject to dual disclosure requirements because they are SEC registered investment companies (RICs) that are now also required to register with the CFTC as commodity pool operators (CPOs) under Dodd-Frank rules. The CFTC also issued final rules on third-party recordkeeping for CPOs, and the SEC issued guidance for RICs that enter into derivatives.
