CONTINUE READINGFIA makes three key observations and suggestions in its submitted comments to the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s consultation paper on draft Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Futures Companies.
CONTINUE READINGFIA has filed comments with the US Federal Trade Commission raising concerns with its proposal to enact a near-categorical ban on non-compete provisions in U.S employment agreements.
CONTINUE READINGFIA and six other trade associations have jointly submitted a position paper to the European Commission, the European Parliament and a number of member states of the Council in relation to commodities and commodity derivatives ahead of a trilogue process on proposed amendments to MiFIR and MiFID that will commence on 18 April.
CONTINUE READINGFIA has joined a group of trade associations in a response to the European Commission's call for evidence on the "Review of the scope and third-country regime of the EU Benchmarks Regulation". The associations strongly support the proposal that only systemically important EU and third-country benchmarks that have been positively designated by the European Commission should be in scope of BMR for mandatory compliance. This approach ensures the highest level of certainty and visibility for users and administrators of benchmarks. The criteria that must be satisfied in order to make a positive designation are critical and discussed in some detail in the response.

CONTINUE READINGFIA supports many elements in the proposal, which will improve the competitiveness and attractiveness of EU CCPs. However, the EMIR 3.0 package also contains proposals that may ultimately negatively impact the competitiveness of EU firms, harm the efficiency and resiliency of the clearing ecosystem, and impact EU investors and pension funds.
CONTINUE READINGFIA has expressed concern that the proposed requirements could have negative effects on the timing and operational complexity of returning funds to clients, hindering CMs' ability to dynamically meet the needs of their clients.
CONTINUE READINGFIA has submitted a letter to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) related to a proposed rule titled Beneficial Ownership Information Access and Safeguards, and Use of FinCEN Identifiers for Entities. In its comments to FinCEN, FIA noted its supports for a separate comment letter from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) that would make the proposed rule more useful and cost-effective for FIA members who operate in futures and derivatives markets.
