Joint Trade Association Letter to SEC on US Treasury Clearing

On January 24, ISDA, the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA), FIA, the FIA Principal Traders Group (FIA PTG), the Institute of International Bankers (IIB), the Managed Funds Association (MFA) and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) and its asset management group (SIFMA AMG) sent a letter to Mark Uyeda, acting chair at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting an extension to the implementation dates for the Treasury clearing mandate by a minimum of 12 months. The associations believe this would give the SEC time to consider and address several critical issues and for the industry to implement clearing. In the letter, the associations highlight their concern that, without an extension, the success of the transition to central clearing will be compromised and may lead to disruptions in the cash Treasury securities and repo markets.
