Our Mission

NFA is the industrywide, self-regulatory organization for the U.S. derivatives industry, providing innovative and effective regulatory programs.

Designated by the CFTC as a registered futures association, NFA strives every day to safeguard the integrity of the derivatives markets, protect investors and ensure Members meet their regulatory responsibilities.

NFA strives to cultivate a diverse, inclusive culture that benefits from the creativity and unique contributions of every staff member.

Swaps Proficiency Requirements

NFA's Swaps Proficiency Requirements are now available. Each NFA Member with associated persons required to take these requirements must designate at least one Swaps Proficiency Requirements Administrator (SPR Admin) who will coordinate enrollment and track progress.

Conduct Due Diligence - BASIC

BASIC is a free tool that Members and investors can use to research the background of derivatives industry professionals. Whether you are an investor thinking about opening a futures account or an NFA Member contemplating a new business relationship, BASIC can be a valuable resource.
