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. |
