Benchmark: Investment of Customer Funds by FCMs and DCOs: Navigating the CFTC Rule

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Investment of Customer Funds by FCMs and DCOs. In a few minutes, you’ll gauge how well you grasp the rule’s intent, who is affected, and the practical trade-offs it creates (liquidity vs. yield, compliance vs. flexibility, diversification vs. operations). You will not be tested on trivia; these prompts surface whether you can reason through the implications: permitted investment choices, concentration decisions, capital charge impacts, SIDR transparency, the shift away from read-only access, and how updated disclosures shape customer expectations. Your responses will highlight where you’re strong, where risks or blind spots may exist, and whether you need the full course or a targeted review of specific modules. Use the results to focus your learning plan, reduce compliance risk, and prepare for smooth implementation.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
