ForEx, hedge funds. Registering with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Generally, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has jurisdiction over transactions in ForEx futures and options contracts offered to retail customers, and the only counterparties that can lawfully enter into these contracts with retail customers on an off-exchange basis are persons that are: (i) registered with the Commission as a futures commission merchant (FCM); (ii) certain affiliates of a registered FCM;, or (iii) otherwise regulated, e.g., as a securities broker-dealer, a bank, a financial institution or an insurance company.
On May 22, 2008, the Congress passed the Farm Bill which, in Title XIII, contains several amendments to the Commodity Exchange Act involving the retail trading of foreign exchange.
Under the CFTC Reauthorization Act, a person operating pool solely trading spot ForEx is not required to register as a CPO at this time (but may be so required in the future upon promulgation of regulations by the CFTC).
As a Fund of Funds you must be aware of each particular states Investment Advisor rules. Many states have exemptions from registration. Also if you intend to invest in futures or commodity funds, you should register with the National Futures Association (NFA) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Commodity Pool Operator (CPO). This CPO’s associated person must successfully complete the NASD Series 3 examination.
Must a finder be registered as a broker-dealer?
Generally, No. Generally a finder does not have to be registered as a broker-dealer if its finder’s activities are limited. A “broker” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is “any person engaged in the business of effecting transactions in securities for the account of others.” The SEC staff has found activities such as (a) participating in presentations or negotiations, (b) making any recommendations concerning securities, (c) receiving transaction-based compensation, (d) structuring a transaction or making recommendations regarding the nature of the securities, whether to issue securities or to assess the value of securities sold, and (e) continuing involvement in sales of securities to trigger broker-dealer registration obligations. However, a number of states, Texas and California for example, take the position that only a registered representative (broker) may receive kind of compensation.
Are there any other types of finders available to issuers in a private placement?
Yes. Rule 3a4-1 provides a non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition of a broker for persons associated with an issuer who are engaged in securities-related activities incident to their duties on behalf of the issuer. See Securities Exchange Act Rel. No. 22172 (June 27, 1985). Employees and possibly individual affiliates of an issuer who are not registered representatives of broker-dealers may be considered “associated persons” for purposes of Rule 3a4-1, in which case they may be exempt from registration and will be permitted to engage in limited sales activities pursuant to the Rule’s safe harbor.
