CFTC grants registration to NEX SEF

Related Topics

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued an order of registration to London-based NEX SEF Limited, granting it registration status as a swap execution facility (SEF). 

NEX SEF is a private limited company, incorporated in the UK and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEX Group, also headquartered in London.
 
SEFs are platforms that operate under the CFTC’s regulatory oversight for the trading of swaps. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 authorized the creation of SEFs.
 
After a review of its application and associated exhibits, the CFTC has determined that NEX SEF demonstrated compliance with the CEA and the CFTC’s regulations applicable to SEFs. 
 
The terms and conditions of the order require that NEX SEF comply with all provisions of the CEA and all requirements in the CFTC’s regulations, as may be amended or adopted from time to time, that are applicable to SEFs. NEX SEF also must comply with all representations and submissions made by it in support of its application for registration as a SEF.
 
With this order, there now are 24 SEFs registered with the CFTC.
