Exemptive Relief from the Main Business Office Requirement in Commission Regulations 4.33 and 4.7(c)(2) to allow commodity trading advisors (CTAs) to use Third-party Recordkeepers.

The Division of Clearing and Intermediary Oversight provided exemptive relief to a registered CPO and CTA from the books and records location requirements of Rules 4.23 and 4.33 such that the CPO/CTA may maintain its books and records at a branch office (also the main business office of an affiliated company) that provides operational support to the CPO/CTA.
