Series 3: 7.3.3.6. Reporting Of Segregated Accounts To Regulators

Taken from our Series 3

7.3.3.6. Reporting of Segregated Accounts to Regulators

At the close of each business day, every FCM must compute:

  • The total amount of customer funds on deposit in segregated accounts
  • The amount of funds required to be on deposit in segregated accounts
  • The amount of the FCM’s residual interest in its futures customer funds

If funds are held in more than one currency, this computation must be made separately for each currency. Recall that residual interest is the amount of the FCM’s own capital that it is required to maintain for its futures customers that are under-margined at the end of any business day at each clearing organization.

This computation must be submitted daily on Form 1-FR-FCM (Statement of Segregation Requirements and Funds in Segregation for Customers Trading on U.S. commodity Exchanges). This form must be submitted to both the CFTC and the NFA by noon the following day.
