NFA Member Services
Foreside provides comprehensive and tailored compliance services to Commodity Pool Operators (CPOs) and other National Futures Association (NFA)-registered entities. Our services span a broad spectrum, including assisting our clients in meeting NFA and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulatory standards to ensuring that they are apprised of industry best practices. Foreside employs seasoned compliance professionals and attorneys who have worked extensively with NFA-registered firms in the Alternative and Registered Investment Funds environment.
Foreside’s CPO services are generally offered in three stages, shown below. We will also accommodate other service models to meet the needs of clients and business partners in this space.
Development of a CPO Compliance Program
If you have an existing compliance program that requires modification to incorporate rules and regulations of a CPO, we will conduct a gap analysis aimed at leveraging your firm’s existing policies and procedures. This will allow you to administer a robust compliance program while avoiding the costly, fixed expenses associated with hiring in-house compliance specialists and attorneys.
