Originally published on 28 January 2025

AIMA and the ACC have written directly to the Honorable Caroline Pham to congratulate her on assuming the role of Acting Chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

The letter also outlines several short-term objectives that would immediately benefit the alternative investment industry and market confidence.

These requests include:

  • Extending the compliance date for the pending amendments to Form PF until 12 September 2025
  • Replacing “regulation via enforcement” with an approach that prosecutes bad actors while rewarding responsible innovators
  • Amending the Japan Securities Clearing Corporation’s Exemptive Order from registration as a Derivatives Clearing Organization

AIMA and the ACC look forward to working productively with Chair Pham and the CFTC.
