    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing a proposal by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) to modify the calculation of the VaR (Value at Risk) Floor for its Mortgage-Backed Securities Division. The change aims to incorporate a "Minimum Margin Amount" to better account for market volatility and ensure adequate risk management. This proposal was developed after the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that the existing calculations did not sufficiently cover risks, particularly during periods of extreme market changes, and the SEC is inviting public comments on this advance notice. The proposed enhancements are designed to limit FICC's exposure by ensuring that its systems account for recent and more volatile market conditions.

    The Miami International Securities Exchange (MIAX) has filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to amend Rule 1308 regarding the supervision of accounts. The change aims to align MIAX's reporting requirements with those of FINRA and the New York Stock Exchange, allowing members more flexibility by removing the specific April 1st deadline and only requiring reports to be submitted annually. This proposal intends to make compliance processes more efficient for MIAX members who are also members of other exchanges. The SEC is inviting public comments on this proposed rule change.

    Simple Explanation
