Statement of CFTC Chairman Timothy Massad on the Announcement that Dan Roth will Step down as President and CEO of the National Futures Association

May 23, 2016

It has been a privilege to work closely with Dan Roth throughout my time as Chairman of the CFTC. We have forged an excellent relationship over the past two years, one which I have very much enjoyed. The NFA plays an important role in the markets that the CFTC regulates, and Dan’s knowledge, experience, and commitment to collaboration have been of tremendous value to our work and to me personally. I look forward to continuing to work together as the NFA searches for his replacement over the coming months.

I congratulate Dan on his record of accomplishment, I thank him for his friendship and I wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors.
