To help provide greater transparency into the financial condition of futures commission merchants operating in the U.S., FIA has created a series of interactive visualizations based on data published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on a monthly basis.

Customer Seg Funds in Futures Accounts and FCM Count over Time

This visualization shows the amount of customer funds in futures accounts held by futures commission merchants in the U.S. as well as the total number of FCMs that are holding those funds.

ACCESS FCM TRACKER

In 2014 FIA began collecting volume data from swap execution facilities, a type of trading venue created by the Dodd-Frank Act for over-the-counter derivatives. To provide the public with a greater transparency into the trading activity on these venues, FIA publishes data on volume and market share trends for interest rate, credit and foreign exchange products traded on SEFs. These data are accessible through a series of interactive online visualizations that allow users to display the data in charts and tables and filter the data in various ways.
