2019 has seen a continued focus on risk mitigation by the exchanges and OCC, designed to strengthen the listed options infrastructure and reduce risk to clearing firms. However, the industry is yet to solve other issues impacting the industry, including the treatment of risk-weighted assets, which continues to inhibit the availability of bank capital for market makers. Join this panel of subject matter experts for a robust discussion on new regulations and how market participants are working together to create a more resilient industry. Topics include exchange give-ups and the OCC’s actionable identifier, an update on bank capital rules, recent initiatives at the OCC, options regulatory fee and enforcement, CAT and Rule 606.
