The Managed Funds Association ("MFA") and the AIMA submitted a joint comment letter to the CFTC on its swap data reporting rules. In the letter, the MFA and the AIMA responded to certain questions in the CFTC's comment request aimed at improving and refining the swap data reporting regime for the following reporting issues:

• confirmation data;
• valuation data;
• reporting party status change;
• bespoke swaps;
• package transactions;
• reporting collateral information for consistency with EU rules; and
• alpha swap reporting of any swap that is executed with the intention that it be cleared.
