CFTC ANNOUNCES PARTICIPANTS FOR ITS ROUNDTABLE ON MANAGED FUNDS ISSUES

Washington, D.C. – The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced the participants for its Roundtable discussion on managed funds issues. The Roundtable will be held on September 19, 2002, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., in the first floor Hearing Room at the Commission’s Washington office, 1155 21st Street, NW, Washington, D.C.

The principal purpose of the roundtable is to discuss the effects of overlapping CFTC/SEC jurisdiction on the managed funds industry. The discussion will include views on how the Commission, other regulators and industry can work together to address duplicative or conflicting regulatory requirements with the aim of reducing barriers to entry, increasing efficiency and reducing the costs of conducting managed funds business.
