In today’s rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, many asset managers struggle keeping track of their compliance status. With regulations and trading parameters becoming ever more complex, ensuring compliance can be a challenging endeavor. Enter K3 Limits – the revolutionary tool that has quickly become the industry standard in calculating exchange position limits.
Consider the recent incident with First Trust Advisors LP as highlighted in report CME-22-1614-BC. They found themselves on the wrong side of position limit regulations when, on October 18, 2022, they held an overage of 422 contracts in December 2022 Lean Hogs futures. This overage increased the following day, resulting in a profit of $31,938. As a result, the CME levied a penalty of $15,000 along with the disgorgement of First Trust’s profits.
Such oversights pose a significant risk. It’s not just about keeping on the right side of regulations; it’s also a matter of avoiding hefty fines which can undermine profitability in a competitive market.
