Gensler Says ISDA Primary Members Likely Swap Dealers

Almost all of International Swaps and Derivatives Association's primary members will be captured in the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's definition of a swap dealer, Gary Gensler, chairman of the CFTC, said last week at the International Swaps and Derivatives annual regional conference in New York. It could mean that institutions other than dealers, such as insurance companies and corporates, could be caught under the definition.
