CFTC Requires CPOs, CTAs and IBs to Register as NFA Members | Practical Law
The CFTC adopted a final rule requiring each registered commodity pool operator (CPO), commodity trading advisor (CTA) and introducing broker (IB) to become a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). The rule is subject to an exception for those persons who are exempt from registration as CTAs under CFTC Regulation 4.14(a)(9).
