The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (Commission) Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (Division) today issued an interpretation of Commission Regulation 30.7(c) under the Commodity Exchange Act. The interpretation permits futures commission merchants (FCMs) to deposit customer funds margining foreign futures positions with UK-licensed investment firms that hold such funds in accordance with either UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) client money rules or as bank deposits subject to UK Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) regulations.
