A recent K&L Gates program examined developments at the CFTC under new Chair Heath Tarbert. The program emphasized CFTC and NFA rule changes that affect commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisers, including family offices; supervision; promotional materials; performance advertising; training; exemptions; and harmonization with SEC rules on general solicitation. The program featured K&L Gates partners Cary J. Meer and Stephen M. Humenik, as well as associate Edgar Mkrtchian. This article outlines the key takeaways from their presentation.
