CFTC Grants Relief to CPO from Annual Report Filing Requirements (CFTC Letter 16-57)

The CFTC Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight granted relief from the annual report filing requirement to the Commodity Pool Operator ("CPO") of pools that operate as part of a master-feeder structure pursuant to an exemption under CFTC Rule 4.7. The relief allows the CPO to file a 14-month combined annual report containing required audited statements for the period from January 1, 2015 (the date on which the pool began trading) through February 16, 2016 (when the pools ceased trading).
