A Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) provides commodity trading advice as to the value of trading futures contracts, options on futures, retail off-exchange forex contracts or swaps.
There are specific proficient requirements to be registered as a CTA. The National Futures Association (NFA) requires CTA registration as the self-regulatory organization of the industry. At My RIA Lawyer, we provide a variety of commodity trading advisor services that help you become registered and stay in compliance.
The regulations for CTAs date back to the late 1970s as commodity market investing became more accessible to retail investors. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has gradually expanded the requirements for CTA registration over time.
A CTA must comply with NFA rules and CFTC regulations. From annual CTA requirements, books and records, business continuity, cybersecurity, disclosure, reporting, sales practices, self-examination and supervision requirements, we take care of all CTA regulatory obligations. Let My RIA Lawyer show you how our commodity trading advisor services can help you remain compliant of all current laws and regulations.
Making the jump to start your own firm is a big decision. Its stressful, hard work, and you have to learn a ton. This why I decided to hire a professional team to help establish my RIA the right way the first time. My RIA Lawyer’s team is absolutely amazing. They have demonstrated expert knowledge, personable staff, and they have shown us how much they genuinely care about setting us up for success by giving us the tools we need to help others. Thank you Leila and Liz for all of your hard work!
The initial consultation was extremely valuable. I definitely recommend speaking with them. I had very custom needs, and they rose to the task!
I worked with Leila as I was getting my new RIA firm up and running. Leila provided expert legal advice as a complement to the national compliance firm who was assisting me with my registration. I was introduced to Leila after I had already begun the process and not sure how I would have made it through without her. She was an invaluable resource and I look forward to working together again in the future!
I have used My RIA Lawyer for filing my Annual Amendments in the past and was very happy with their services and professionalism. Leila Shaver is very responsive, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend their services!
Leila is an expert with compliance but she also offers a wealth of knowledge as a business owner. We discussed everything including compliance, marketing, business partnerships, and more. Even though my firm is not yet at a point to work with her, she has sent me multiple emails offering assistance with the things we spoke about during our meeting.
The attorneys at MyRIALawyer are always extremely attentive, responsive and competent. We look forward to expanding our relationship, as we continue to grow.
and help them understand what it is they actually need to be asking for.
We are the answer to All Your Questions.
“In life, it’s not that we don’t have enough time; it’s that we lose so much of it. We waste time on things that can be outsourced instead of spending time on things and people we love. I’d rather pay someone to clean my house and take that time to spend with my children. Our clients are happier letting us ‘clean house’ while they work with their clients. In the end, they have more satisfaction in their businesses and they’re happier overall.”
