Key requirements:

  • CTAs must use a standardized method to calculate and report investment performance. This helps clients compare different advisors’ performance information fairly.
  • If an account uses a different amount of cash than the amount the advisor uses to make trading decisions, the advisor must clearly document and explain that arrangement before trading begins.
  • For partially funded accounts, advisors must disclose how leverage can amplify risks, losses, margin calls, and the apparent performance results.
