Finishing The Work Of Regulating Security-Based Derivatives, SEC Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar, Sept. 15, 2015
About seven years ago, our country suffered a financial crisis that resulted in devastating economic damage. A close look at what happened made clear that one of the major contributing factors to the crisis was the role of the unregulated derivatives market. In response to the regulatory deficiencies exposed during the financial crisis, Congress passed, among other things, Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires the SEC and the CFTC to establish a framework for regulating the over-the-counter swaps market. In particular, the Commission became responsible, per the Dodd-Frank Act, for coming up with rules to regulate the security-based swap (“SBS”) market, which comprises approximately $14 trillion in SBS market value.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo On The Proposal To Amend The Definition Of “Material Terms” For Purposes Of Swap Portfolio Reconciliation
In its rush to implement the Dodd-Frank Act over the past few years, the Commission issued multiple rules that proved to be confusing, impracticable or unworkable, which in turn necessitated the unprecedented issuance of no-action relief, either due to unrealistic compliance deadlines, problematic elements of the rules or both. I trust that today’s proposal from the Commission signals that the epoch of heedless rule production is drawing to a close.

FINRA Sanctions 10 Former Global Arena Representatives As A Result Of FINRA Crackdown On Broker Migration
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced today that as a result of a 2014 onsite exam, it found securities violations including various misleading sales pitches, customer account churning and other business misconduct at Global Arena Capital Corp. It has barred seven former registered representatives from the securities industry, suspended an eighth person whose bar will become effective in October, and barred two former branch managers from serving in a principal capacity. The actions are a result of FINRA's continued focus on tracking groups of brokers that move from one risky firm to another. Seven of the 10 individuals had moved from HFP Capital Markets LLC—a problem firm that FINRA later expelled—to Global Arena Capital Corp. Global Arena opened a branch office in October 2013 to register a number of brokers who had been discharged by HFP. Like HFP, the branch office's business model involved cold-calling customers, including seniors, to make solicited recommendations of securities.
