I am committed to ensuring that the Chairman’s pro-innovation agenda is successfully implemented during this period of rapid transformation in the derivatives markets.” Zaidi returns to the CFTC after having previously served in several roles at the agency from 2010 to 2019, including as director of the Division of Market Oversight, where he oversaw the certification and deployment of the bitcoin futures contact – the first federally-regulated crypto product. While at the CFTC, he also held senior roles in the offices of former Chairman Chris Giancarlo and Commissioner Scott O’Malia. Prior to returning to the CFTC, Zaidi was global head of compliance for a large broker-dealer and introducing broker. Prior to 2010, Zaidi served in various financial, legal, and regulatory roles in New York and Washington. He has decades of experience in the financial services industry.

The Amman Stock Exchange Indices Quarterly Review

The Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) has conducted the periodic quarterly review of the ASE indices constituents in purpose of ensuring that these indices reflect the market performance and the trading activity of the listed companies. By this rebalancing, the activity of listed companies in regard to trading during the last quarter has been reviewed. After that, the ASE has conducted its screening process for all listed companies based on the criteria used by the ASE represented by full market capitalization of the companies and the number of trading days during the last quarter. As a result of this review, 10 companies have been excluded from the general index sample ASEGI, and another 7 companies have been added. The companies that have been excluded from the index sample were: Al-Nisr Al-Arabi Insurance, Jerusalem Insurance, Jordanian Expatriates Investment Holding, Salam Internationl Transport & Trading, Al Sanabel International for Islamic Investments (Holding), Arab Aluminium Industry /Aral, Injaz for Development & Projects, Nutri Dar, Jordan Vegetable Oil Industries, and Philadelphia Pharmaceuticals. The companies that have been added to the index sample were: Petra Education Company, Middle East Holding, Arabia Insurance Company - Jordan, Jordan Insurance, Mediterranean Tourism Investment, Zara Investement Holding, and Jordan Dairy. As part of the process, the ASE calculated the free float for all listed companies on the ASE based on the data received from the Securities Depository Center. Note that the ASE is setting a 10% cap for the company's weight in the index to prevent the index from being dominated by individual companies. Regarding the general index ASEGI, the full market capitalization of the index constituents represents 95.1% of the total market capitalization of the companies listed on the ASE. The free float market capitalization of the index constitutes represents 97.0% of the total free float market capitalization of the listed companies on the ASE. As for the ASE20 index and ASETR index sample the full market capitalization of the index constituents represents 88.3% of the total market capitalization of the companies listed on the ASE, while the free float market capitalization of these companies represents 90.5% of the total free float market capitalization of the ASE listed companies.

SGX RegCo Appoints Dr Sung Cheng Chih Chairman - Professor Tan Cheng Han Steps Down

Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) is appointing Dr Sung Cheng Chih as non-executive and independent chairman effective 1 January 2026. Dr Sung replaces Professor Tan Cheng Han who is relinquishing the role after almost nine years on the board. Dr Sung has been on the RegCo board since 1 January 2025. He started his investment career at GIC where he was last Chief Risk Officer in 2011. He later co-founded Avanda Investment Management, a Singapore-based global asset manager, and retired in 2021. Dr Sung studied mathematics first at the University of Waterloo and later at the University of Minnesota. Professor Tan is Chief Strategy Officer at the NUS Faculty of Law and a former Dean. He is also a Senior Consultant at Wong Partnership LLC. Professor Tan holds a Bachelor of Law (Honours) degree from the National University of Singapore and a Master of Laws degree from University of Cambridge. “Serving as the first chairman of Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) has been an honour. From its inception nine years ago, SGX RegCo is today seen as a trusted independent regulator, driving governance improvements and greater investor participation. We have learnt a lot together over these years and have, I feel, etched a path towards more market discipline, board renewal and diversity. I am confident Cheng Chih, with his deep understanding of financial markets, will lead SGX RegCo in making further inroads as a market regulator and developer,” said Professor Tan. “To chair the board of SGX RegCo is a unique opportunity. This is a company whose policies and actions are closely intertwined with the reputation of, and confidence in, Singapore’s capital markets. The team here has contributed much to the Equities Market Review Group (EMRG) under Cheng Han’s leadership. These are big shoes to fill, and I will do my best to steer RegCo as it implements the EMRG’s recommendations aimed at further enhancing and developing our marketplace,” said Dr Sung.

FINRA Orders American Portfolios Financial Services To Pay $4.6 Million In Restitution For Overcollection Of Fees, Retention Of Surplus Interest - Firm Failed To Accurately Calculate Bank Deposit Program Fees And Failed To Disclose Retention Of Surplus Interest Earned From Customers’ Funds

FINRA has ordered American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. (APFS) to pay $4.6 million in restitution to customers impacted by the firm’s inaccurate representation of how it calculated its fees and its retention of undisclosed, surplus interest. The fees and surplus interest were earned from customers’ funds in the firm’s bank deposit program between April 2018 and September 2022. The firm was also fined $550,000 for the violations.    Bank deposit programs allow broker-dealers to automatically transfer customers' uninvested cash balances from their brokerage accounts into interest-bearing, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured bank accounts. These programs are designed to help customers earn interest on cash that might otherwise sit idle. During the period at issue, APFS enrolled approximately 85,000 customers in its bank deposit program. From April 2018 through September 2022, APFS provided customers with inaccurate disclosures about how it calculated per-account fees for customers enrolled in its bank deposit program. Rather than using a formula tied to the Federal Funds Target rate, as stated in the disclosures, APFS first determined customer yields based on factors such as the rates paid by its competitors and retained the remaining interest paid by the participating banks, less other administrative fees, as its fee. Over the entire relevant period, APFS collected more than $3 million in aggregate fees beyond what the disclosed formula would have yielded.  APFS also did not disclose that it retained surplus interest—totaling approximately $1.25 million—when interest rate changes created excess proceeds. Finally, APFS incorrectly credited the retained excess administrative fees and surplus interest as revenue in its net capital calculation, resulting in the firm filing inaccurate monthly reports with FINRA. “While bank deposit programs may offer useful features to customers, it is important for firms to ensure compliance with a range of relevant FINRA and SEC rules,” said Bill St. Louis, Executive Vice President and Head of FINRA Enforcement at FINRA. “Firms must ensure accuracy in customer communications, including how fees are calculated and what interest customers will earn. When firms fail in that obligation—whether through inaccurate formulas, undisclosed interest retention or inadequate supervisory controls—customers can suffer real financial harm, as demonstrated by the substantial restitution required in this case." From April 2018 to May 2023, APFS lacked a system reasonably designed to supervise the bank deposit program. APFS had no supervisory system, including written procedures, to ensure that the customer disclosures accurately communicated all material information about the bank deposit program or that the firm calculated its fees in accordance with disclosures sent to its customers. APFS was acquired by Osaic Holdings, Inc. in November 2022, and was merged into Osaic Wealth, Inc. in October 2024.  The fine imposed in this matter reflects that Osaic provided substantial assistance to FINRA in calculating the appropriate restitution, that APFS disclosed the underpayments to FINRA in October 2022, at which time it began applying the disclosed formula to calculate its fee, and that Osaic began paying restitution to affected customers before the settlement in this matter was finalized. In settling this matter, APFS consented to the entry of FINRA’s findings, without admitting or denying the charges. FINRA makes available disciplinary actions and other information on its Disciplinary Actions Online database. In addition, FINRA publishes on its Monthly Disciplinary Actions page a summary of disciplinary actions against firms and individuals for violations of FINRA rules; federal securities laws, rules and regulations; and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. FINRA’s use of fine monies is limited to specific purposes set forth in its public Financial Guiding Principles, which are approved by its Board of Governors. FINRA publicly itemizes and discloses how it uses fine monies each year.
