The CFTC has published financial data on all registered futures commission merchants (FCMs), including amounts each holds in segregation for customers collateralizing futures and swaps (customer assets). The data, available in pdf or Excel format, is broken down for each month of 2013. Historical FCM data is also available. The data presents a fascinating snapshot of the 94 registered FCMs operating in the US, including the net capital requirement, adjusted net capital and excess net capital for each FCM. Goldman Sachs topped the list for December 2013 with over $13 billion in excess net capital, followed by JP Morgan Chase with over $10 billion.

The tables also present any additions to or deletions from the list (including defunct Knight Capital, removed in December 2013) and notes which FCMs are also CFTC-registered swap dealers (SDs) and which are SEC-registered broker-dealers. Surprisingly, only 10 of the 94 CFTC-registered FCMs are SDs. The tables also present data for each FCM on customer assets required to be segregated under section 4d(a)(2) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), as well as total customer assets in segregation and excess or deficiency of funds in segregation.
