The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Division of Market Oversight (DMO) today announced it has issued a no-action letter extending conditional time-limited relief for Australian-based trading platform Yieldbroker Pty Limited (Yieldbroker).
Yieldbroker is licensed as an exchange under an Australian Market License (AML) and is regulated by Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Yieldbroker operates a multilateral trading platform in Australia which brings together multiple third-party buying and selling interests in swaps. Yieldbroker currently permits direct access to U.S. persons to transact in swaps on its platform.
This no-action letter will allow Yieldbroker additional time within which to comply with the terms of CFTC No-Action Letter, which is an enabling no-action letter for qualifying swaps trading platforms that are licensed in Australia and overseen by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) (Qualifying Australian Licensed Markets or QALMs).
The framework in Letter provides for long-term no-action relief from the requirement to register as a swap execution facility or designated contract market under section 5h(a)(1) of the Act and Commission Regulation 37.3(a)(1).
We have seen cases recently where the CFTC will exempt certain entities if the regulation of the home country is on par with U.S. based rules and requirements. Possibly permanent acceptance is on the way someday. The last exemption came in August, 2014.
DMO will not recommend that the Commission take enforcement action against Yieldbroker for failure to register as a swap execution facility under section 5h(a)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act) or Commission Regulation 37.3(a)(1), or against any market participants for use of, or other relationships with, Yieldbroker, for the period expiring May 15, 2016.
The no-action relief shall remain contingent on Yieldbroker’s satisfaction of six conditions specified in CFTC No-Action Letter No. 13-76 throughout the time-limited relief period. Additionally, Yieldbroker may offer trading in New Zealand Dollar-denominated interest rate swaps on its platform during the relief period. DMO continues to believe that predicating Yieldbroker’s relief upon satisfaction of these conditions will help foster pre- and post-trade transparency on, and impartial access to, Yieldbroker’s trading platform during the relief period.

Last week we began a two-part series on Preparing for the Hurricane Season. We looked at what we should do as parents before a storm and how to keep our children in the loop.
Like us, children like to know what is happening. If our children, especially those of school age, can understand what is going to happen when we are preparing for a storm, they will be less anxious if they actually have to see us jump into motion.
It will be important to answer any questions your children have as they may be a little on edge. Your children’s reaction depends a great deal on their temperament. Some children will not even flinch at a sign of bad weather, but others will become worried. Children are often looking at their parents in order to know how to react; therefore staying calm is likely to help keep your children calm.
During the storm you will want to listen to media broadcasts during updates, but be sure to keep an eye on your children. The constant replaying of the same information and images can be overwhelming for children, so you will want to keep this in mind.
You will want to keep your electronic devises charged. It is important that your children understand why this is key, as you do not want to find out your battery on your phone is low just as the power goes out!
If power does go out, you are going to want to make sure that you unplug electronics and appliances to reduce the power surge when electricity is restored.
Expect that your children may need to be engaged. If they are scared, playing games may be a great way to take their mind off of the storm.
I am sure after the storm you will feel a huge sense of release. Prior to moving from your location, survey to make sure all family members are unharmed.
If anyone has gotten hurt, be sure to give first aid or get the individual to the hospital if needed. If you are unsure about the individual’s injuries, it is best not to move them unless they are in any immediate danger. Call for help.
Take the time to make sure that your children are emotionally okay. Some children may be shaken from their memories of the storm and you may have to exercise a little more patience than usual. Try your best to do so. After experiencing Hurricanes Hannah and Ike, I can say with no hesitation that hurricanes can be very scary things! So it certainly will not hurt to be a little more aware and attentive after a hurricane.
Prior to making any movements, explain to your children that there may be dangerous things outside that they are not to touch. These will include power lines, and debris that may have ended up close to your home.
When venturing outside, avoid loose or dangling power lines. If you have been away from your home and are returning, enter with caution. If possible it would be a good idea not to take young children in the home with you for this first time. After your initial survey, you will know what hazards you will want to ensure your children are not around once you enter the home.
At the beginning of a hurricane season, one never knows what we will be faced with. In order to cover your bases, it’s important to prepare yourself and your children. At the end of the season, it is better to have been prepared and not to have had to deal with a hurricane and its effects, than be unprepared and have to deal with a hurricane.

Having worked in the IT industry for over 20 years in various ‘9 to 5’ jobs I thought there must be a better and easier way to secure my financial future – that’s when I found Trading. I attended a LTT Forex seminar and realised this was the way to earn a second income and improve my quality of life. I enrolled on one of the LTT courses where the coaches demystified what I (and most people) think about Trading – too hard, complicated & risky…the opposite is true. While working my IT ‘day job’ I reached a level that enabled me to Trade full time after 6 months and found myself a new passion. I made 7.5% profit in December, and my best winning trade to date is EURUSD with a 2% return.
I’m currently residing in Dubai and work as an Operations Accountant in Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. I’ve always been fascinated with the financial world and dreamt of making it big. My interest in Forex grew after attending Learn to Trade’s Forex Introductory seminars and Greg Secker’s videos on the learning aspects of Forex. My experience with LTT has been marvellous. Everyone has been supportive – they are just a click away and always respond to my needs at the earliest. I have been able to acquire a lot of knowledge and expertise based on the presenters and I can foresee myself doing better and getting better with each trade placed.
The GFC brought my property development business to a standstill; I needed income and I needed it regularly. Enter Forex. I came to LTT with a vision of creating a monthly income stream that I could achieve on a part-time basis. After attending the Learn Forex course at LTT I knew I was in the right place to learn Forex trading. The trading software made it easy to choose my trades, the learning environment and support from expert traders is second to none. That’s what inspired me to write my book “Foreign Exchange Trading: My First Six Months”. LTT inspired me to become a successful trader!

The Leavitt Food Program provides direct access of food companies to insurance underwriters. Direct access improves communication between you and your insurance company. Leavitt’s in-house underwriting team works closely with you, tours your facilities and reviews your risk management objectives to understand your unique circumstances and business needs. This interaction enables you to tailor insurance coverage within your budget and risk tolerance.
Leavitt Group has been granted underwriting authority up to $50 million limits per policy. Using this authority, we have designed and own the Copyrights to several coverage enhancements to offer those companies who qualify. A partial list includes:
Coverage for Criminal Strict Liability Defense with limits up to $10 million per company and employees of such companies;
Coverage for your customer’s expenses related to their crisis consulting expenses they incur following a contaminated product you sold them;
In addition to our in-house underwriting authority, we also access capabilities from every major insurer and a large number of regional insurers in the U.S. We supplement their offerings with several insurance coverages, some of which we designed, to address your exposures. We tailor insurance policies to work in concert with other policies to achieve your risk management objectives.
We are members of a strategic partner network of independently owned companies providing various services to food companies. Network members include: supply chain management and track & trace, food lobbying organization, plant sanitation experience, law firms to design & review risk transfer in contracts, banks & private equity, forensic accountants and a crisis response firm. Often, we are able to use the information and experience within our partner network to enhance loss control knowledge to improve insurable risk. This can result in insurance premium credits we can offer our customers.
We have also teamed with Leavitt Partners, whose staff has held senior roles at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This team is internationally recognized for their food safety experience. For more information about Leavitt Partners, please visit leavittpartners.com.
Many food & beverage companies have already discovered significant value available through the Leavitt Food Program. They embrace our risk analysis process and like working directly with us as their underwriter and agent for other policies where we work as their agent. They like having the ability to tailor their own insurance program and to only pay for coverage they need. They like an insurance design where policies dovetail to close gaps in coverage or improve coverage terms.
Whether you are exploring the country full-time in your motor home or just enjoy getting away from it all on the weekends in your tent trailer, your RV is part of your lifestyle and often represents a significant investment.
A Leavitt Group agent can help you get the coverage you need with RV insurance. Your Leavitt Group agent can compare rates and coverage between multiple top insurance companies, which means you’ll get the RV insurance that is right for your motor home, fifth wheel, travel trailer, camper, or toy hauler—and at a great, low rate.
An RV is a combination of a home and a vehicle—which presents unique risks. For example, while your home obviously can't hit a deer, your motor home certainly can. Likewise, your car is not at risk for having the water pipes burst in the winter, but your trailer is. Because of these risks, an auto insurance policy just isn’t enough. You need a RV insurance policy to really protect your investment.
Your Leavitt Group agent has the experience to evaluate your situation and provide you with the RV policy that is right for you. Here are some important RV insurance coverages and options for RV owners:
Motor home owners are required to have limited liability coverage. Towed vehicles usually have limited liability coverage through their auto policy, but this only covers injury or damage to another person or their property. It doesn’t cover you, your family, or your property. RV insurance help fills this gap.
If you are the original owner and your RV is less than five years old, you may consider full RV replacement coverage. If your RV is destroyed within the first five years, this coverage will replace it with the same model and accessories.
Comprehensive coverage insures damages not caused by a collision, such as fires, flooding, or hitting a deer.
You take a lot of your personal possessions with you in your RV. Protect your belongings with an RV insurance policy’s personal property insurance.
If your motor home breaks down, towing it to a repair shop can be very expensive because it requires special equipment and skill. You can purchase the right amount of towing coverage with your RV insurance policy.
If your RV breaks down away from home, emergency coverage can give you extra peace of mind by paying for housing and transportation expenses while your RV is being repaired.
When you are on vacation, your RV is your home away from home. Vacation home liability insurance protects you in case someone is injured in or around your RV, similar to the liability protection on a homeowners policy.
Full timers use their RVs as their primary residence, so they need insurance similar to a homeowners policy. Let your Leavitt Group insurance professional know how often you use your RV so you can get the coverage you need.
Many RV insurance claims could be avoided simply by remembering to check everything before you start traveling. Ensure awnings, antennas, steps, and other accessories are in their traveling positions. These can all do significant damage to your RV if they are not lowered before you leave.
If you don’t plan to use your RV during the winter, prepare your RV for a few idle months. Drain the water systems, cover tires, make sure the RV is shut tight to prevent rodents or other critters from entering, remove batteries and store them where they won’t freeze, and winterize generators. These simple steps will help keep your RV protected so you won’t have costly surprises in the spring.
Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Over or underinflated tires can both be dangerous and increase the risk of tire failure. Also, check your tires for any signs of damage and get them repaired or replaced before you have problems.
Routine RV maintenance can save you time and problems while on the road. Check the roof, body, and bottom of the RV for cracks, leaks, or signs of damage. Check gas lines for signs of leakage. Examine the refrigerator, stove, sink, and other appliances for any signs of damage. Make sure your smoke detector is working and replace batteries regularly. Your owner’s manual or RV dealership should have a complete maintenance checklist for your particular motor home, travel trailer, 5th wheel, tent trailer, camper, or toy hauler.
