CFTC should be commended for greater transparency around its enforcement guidelines. The more the industry knows how to stay in compliance, the better! And compliance is the ultimate goal. Congrats to @ChairmanHeath and @CFTC enforcement division.

Important and helpful statement by @ChairmanHeath on the use of no action letters and guidance by the CFTC. Worth a close ready by the industry. @CFTC @FIAconnect.
