Abstract: The rules require futures commission merchants and introducing brokers to provide their customers with a standard disclosure statement describing some of the risks of trading commodity options and to retain all promotional material. The disclosure and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to monitor and to verify compliance by FCMs and IBs with their obligations concerning disclosure and promotional material.
