After the bankruptcies of MF Global Holdings Ltd. and Peregrine Financial Group, the customers of the commodity futures market were shaken, and their trust in the market was clearly diminishing. Industry regulators have responded with great systematic changes to the regulatory regime, but customers seem to want more protection for their customer funds. Thus, industry leaders have established a range of ideas such as: industry sponsored insurance funds, Customer Guaranty Funds, Tri-Party Custodial Accounts and Central Customer Fund Repositories.Each of these alternatives must be examined and weighed by the CFTC and Congress. Any new regime that is adopted must consider the impact that it has on all market participants, large and small. Larger traders in the commodities futures market do not want to be burdened by unreasonable additional cost while the smaller traders want to their customer funds to be fully protected in the event of a FCM collapse. Thus, a reasonable short term solution would be to adopt an optional guaranty fund where customers would be able to decide the amount of protection for their customer funds. Likewise, a Central Customer Fund Repository should be a long term consideration for the protection of customer funds. This mechanism would provide the highest level of protection for customer segregated funds, and this would inject confidence into the commodities futures market.
