CFTC Launches Updated Online Portal to File Form 40
The CFTC launched an updated online filing portal to submit CFTC Form 40 (Statement of Reporting Trader). Form 40 collects identifying information from traders that "hold or control a reportable futures, options or swaps position." The revamped portal contains the following new features:
-
"Wizard-Style Form" that helps users more easily navigate the different sections of the form;
-
"Auto-Save Feature" that allows users to exit the portal without losing previously entered information; and
-
"PDF Version" that allows users to generate PDFs of submitted forms for their records.
