Description

The Division of Clearing and Intermediary Oversight took a CPO registration no-action position with respect to the trustee of a commodity pool where the trustee had no authority to perform CPO functions, and a separate registered CPO was authorized to perform such functions. The Division further granted exemptive relief from certain of the Part 4 regulations to the registered CPO of a commodity pool, whose shares the CPO intended to publicly offer and to list for trading on a national securities exchange. As is discussed in the letter, this relief was in the nature of substituted compliance with those regulations. Finally, the Division granted exemptive relief from certain of the Part 4 regulations to the registered CTA of a commodity pool where the CTA was an affiliate of the pool’s CPO.
