FIA Issues Fourth Version of Guide to Customer Fund Protections

The Futures Industry Association ("FIA") issued an updated version of its guide to rules and regulations relating to customer fund protections in the United States.

The guide, which was first issued in February 2012, provides futures commission merchants and customers with information about the relevant provisions of the CEA and the rules of the CFTC.

The latest version of the guide has been updated to reflect several of the CFTC's enhanced customer protection rules that have come into effect since May 2014 (when the third version of the guide was released). Additionally, this version takes into account several CFTC-issued no-action letters and interpretations related to customer fund protections.
