Regulatory Testimony | Posting date | | | | 2.5.2010 | | MFA submitted comments to the U.S. GAO in response to its request for comments on the “Joint Report of the SEC and CFTC on Harmonization of Regulation”. In our letter we discuss recommendations we support, such as aligning specific private fund reporting requirements, creating a joint information technology task force, facilitating portfolio margining, and creating a process that would facilitate the product approval process and provide legal certainty. We also discuss concerns with recommendations and areas that the Joint Report does not cover. |
