(PFG), an NFA Member futures commission merchant (FCM) and Forex Dealer Member (FDM) and Peregrine Asset Management, Inc. (PAM), an NFA Member commodity trading advisor (CTA) and commodity pool operator (CPO) which is closely affiliated with PFG. NFA Financial Requirements required PFG to maintain segregated funds of approximately $400 million as of July 6, 2012. On July 9, 2012, NFA received information indicating that PFG's Chairman may have falsified bank records. On July 9, 2012, NFA made inquiry with U.S. Bank and learned that rather than the $225 million in customer segregated funds that PFG had reported to NFA as being on deposit at U.S. Bank just days earlier, PFG had only approximately $5 million on deposit at U.S. Bank. NFA also learned that, in contrast to purported bank confirmations submitted to NFA that sought to confirm U.S. Bank account balances as of February 2010 and March 2011, that reported balances of approximately $207 million and $218 million, respectively, PFG's actual balances at U.S. Bank at those times were less than $10 million for each one of these months. NFA anticipates that in the near future this matter will be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution. In the meantime, NFA continues to investigate and will provide additional information that NFA becomes aware of. If you are a customer of PFG, please contact Toni Rossetti (312-781-1422, trossetti@nfa.futures.org), Matthew Pendell (312-781-1318, mpendell@nfa.futures.org) or Lauren Brinati (312-781-1215, lbrinati@nfa.futures.org). If you are an Introducing Broker and intend to enter into a new guarantee agreement, NFA will assist you in expediting this process.
