Confirmations: Made in China

2/10/2013

In the continuing series of "Restoring Customer Confidence" in the futures markets, our friends at Marketswiki.tv produced the below video Confirmations: Made in China.

Gary DeWaal, group general counsel at Newedge, stated the issue caused by Peregrine Financial Group (PFG) ability to avoid regulatory audit checks for more than 20 years. To resolve this issue, in November 2012, the National Futures Association and CME Group hired AlphaMetrix to take on the job of confirming the money FCMs say they have in their segregated accounts, with money that is held at the bank.

This solution is based on the method used by China's futures industry called China Futures Margin Monitoring Center Co. Ltd.(CFMMC).

In the continuing series of "Restoring Customer Confidence", below is the next video from our friends at Marketswiki.tv.

Byron Baldwin
, SVP, Buyside Relations at Eurex, says his exchange developed segregated account services that can be as wide or granular as needed.

Moving excess customer funds to a clearing house is one way to reduce the amount of capital at risk.
