CAIS Survey

On December 15, FIF and the FIF CAIS Co-Chairs participated on a call with representatives from the SEC and the CAT Operating Committee to discuss CAT CAIS reporting issues. During the call, the SEC staff requested that FIF provide feedback from FIF members on the challenges with reporting addresses at the CAT Customer level for accounts with multiple Beneficial Owners and reporting CAIS data for Authorized Traders. FIF has sent a survey to members of the CAIS Working Group on these topics. FIF requests that members respond to the survey on or before Wednesday January 12.
