Futures Association Regulation

Definition

Futures Association Regulation involves rules set by organizations overseeing futures markets to ensure fair and orderly trading. This refers to the governance framework established by self-regulatory organizations, such as the National Futures Association in the United States, which supervises firms and individuals involved in the derivatives markets. These regulations cover conduct standards, financial requirements, dispute resolution, and market surveillance to protect investors and maintain market integrity. Adherence to these rules is mandatory for members operating in the regulated futures and swaps space.
