Pre-hedging has been the subject of significant debate within the financial industry in recent years, with concerns often raised over potential conduct and market integrity issues. The International Organization of Securities Commissions, or IOSCO, proposed a definition for pre-hedging, along with recommendations to provide regulators with a framework for globally aligned pre-hedging standards that balance client protection and market integrity with the legitimate risk-management needs of dealers. IOSCO has requested comments on its proposals by February 25, 2025. Firms should monitor the consultation process, as well as any future changes to national regulation and industry codes that may affect them.

A derivatives Christmas riddle (Ho Ho Ho)… This year Santa was feeling the pinch so he bought my daughter’s Christmas present in the Black Friday sales. But was Santa legitimately “pre-hedging” or was he front running the market? Well, International Organization of Securities Commissions - IOSCO thinks it has the answer… 🎁 Was Santa dealing on his own account in a principal capacity? ✅ Of course! The big man charged it to his Golden Sacks account. 🎁 Was the trade executed after the receipt of information about an anticipated client transaction, and before the client has agreed on the terms of the transaction? ✅ Yes, Santa received my daughter’s wish list, but the terms of the “naughty or nice” list were definitely yet to be finalised! 🎁 Was the trade executed to manage the risk related to the anticipated client transaction? ✅ Another yes! Everyone with a pre-teen daughter knows what a disaster it would be if Sephora ran out of Sol de Janeiro before Christmas 😉 Find out more about how IOSCO’s proposals may affect Santa (and other institutions), and how to have your say, in our commentary below. And, of course, have a very Merry Christmas from the Jones Day team 🎄
