The Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight issued an interpretation regarding the time period for which past performance is required to be disclosed by persons required to register as CTAs because they engage in off-exchange retail foreign currency transactions (“retail forex”). Such persons (“Forex CTAs”) are required to disclose performance information for the period beginning October 18, 2010, the date upon which the Commission’s regulations governing retail forex became effective. A Forex CTA that chooses to present past performance information for any period of time prior to October 18, 2010 must do so in accordance with the time period as specified in Regulation 4.35(a)(5), must include all accounts directed by the Forex CTA, must present the information in the format specified in Regulation 4.35, and must have and maintain adequate books and records to substantiate the information.
