Who regulates CTAs?
CTAs are typically registered with a national regulatory body. CTAs trading futures in the U.S. are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA). The CFTC is a Federal regulatory agency that is responsible for administering the Commodity Exchange Act. The CFTC monitors the futures markets, and options on futures markets in the United States. The NFA was designated by the CFTC as a “registered futures association.” The NFA is the self-regulatory organization for the futures industry.
