Description
A healthy financial future requires that we bring comprehensive reform to the over-the-counter derivatives markets. It is critically important that we bring transparency to this market and address the significant information advantage enjoyed by Wall Street. Gary Gensler, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
There has been tremendous overhaul in the regulation of the derivatives market as a result of the financial crisis. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has had a profound effect on virtually all aspects of the derivatives marketplace requiring most derivative contracts to be traded on a public exchange and to be processed, or cleared, through a third party to guarantee payment if one of the parties to a trade went out of business.
No one has been able nail down the precise impact of the legislation on their business, introducing an unaccustomed level of uncertainty into their operations. As a result, all of the key players are changing the way they use derivatives.
Simply stated, banks, issuers, hedge funds who trade commodities, investment management banks, broker-dealers, and mutual funds are under scrutiny like never before.
