How to Avoid Swap Execution Facilities Landmines at Golden Networking's Derivatives Trading Forum

NEW YORK - May 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013, World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including Derivatives Trading Forum 2013, "Global Implementation of Regulatory Reform in the $640 Trillion OTC Derivatives Market," New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt.

Title VII of Dodd-Frank was passed to redress deficiencies in the derivatives market. Among other provisions, Title VII required most "swaps" and "security-based swaps" to be executed on regulated trading platforms called Swap Execution Facilities. The CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have been charged with implementing SEF regulations for swaps and security-based swaps, respectively. After a long waiting period, SEF rules were finalized on May 16 by the CFTC; now the spotlight falls on firms planning to register as SEFs. But the finer details of the rules have created new areas of concern, and would-be SEFs are still struggling with a lack of regulatory clarity.

·       What products will SEFs have to offer? What products are in the pipeline? What needs to be considered when executing on SEFs?

·       What would-SEFs be required to operate via the preliminary approval system before full compliance is mandated?

·       What strategies banks with single-dealer platforms will deploy regarding the wave of SEFs? Will they continue to invest in single-dealer offerings?

These questions will be debated at Tech2Trade Expo 2013’s Derivatives Trading Forum 2013, this July 30 in New York City, September 18 in London, October 8 in Chicago, October 24 in Singapore and November 21 in Frankfurt.
