CFTC No-Action Relief for Swap Post-Trade Risk Reduction Services
CFTC divisions issued no-action positions for Capitolis, Quantile (LSEG) and TriOptima (OSTTRA) offering swap PTRR services including portfolio rebalancing.
The CFTC granted relief enabling swap dealers and end-users to use specified post-trade risk reduction services without triggering certain regulatory consequences. This supports portfolio compression and rebalancing, reducing gross notional, counterparty exposures, and capital usage.
PTRR relief lowers operational and capital costs for swap dealers and supports systemic risk reduction.
