Recent changes to the Commodity Exchange Act (the
"CEA") required under the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd

Operator ("CPO") so as to include those
managing funds utilising swaps, together with changes by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission
("CFTC") in relation to its Regulation

CFTC. Are you one of the UK fund managers potentially affected? Is
