CFTC Staff Determines That Fund Operated by Two Brothers Alone Is Not Commodity Pool (CFTC Letter 16-34)
The CFTC Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight decided that a fund that is owned and operated by two brothers who have full trading authority over it, that is not offered to any other person, and that trades pursuant to a proprietary futures trading strategy developed by the two brothers is not a commodity pool within the meaning of CEA Section 1a(10) and CFTC Rule 4.10(d)(1).
