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.
