Arbitration is a dispute resolution forum. It is not a regulatory action.
NFA discloses information concerning arbitration cases for disputes involving customers and NFA Members if an award exists. However, NFA does not release the names of parties who have settled their parts in the cases. Furthermore, NFA does not release information on cases that closed before January 1, 1990, cases that are still pending, or cases that were settled, withdrawn or rejected.
Effective January 1, 2000, NFA discloses the names of persons who represent parties in NFA customer arbitration proceedings if an award exists. As of the same date, customers may no longer ask NFA to keep their identities confidential. |
