Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe
BZX Exchange, Inc.; Order Approving
a Proposed Rule Change To Provide
Members Certain Optional Risk
Settings Under Proposed
Interpretation and Policy .03 of Rule
11.13
April 8, 2020.
I. Introduction
On February 12, 2020, Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc. (the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to provide members certain
optional risk settings under proposed
Interpretation and Policy .03 of Rule
11.13. The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal
Register on February 27, 2020.3 The
Commission received no comment
letters on the proposed rule change.
This order approves the proposed rule
change.
II. Description of the Proposal
The Exchange proposes to offer two
optional credit risk settings that would
authorize the Exchange to take
automated action if a designated limit
for a member is breached. Specifically,
the Exchange proposes to offer: (i) The
‘‘Gross Credit Risk Limit,’’ a preestablished maximum daily dollar
amount for purchases and sales across
all symbols, where both purchases and
sales are counted as positive values, and
(ii) the ‘‘Net Credit Risk Limit,’’ a preestablished maximum daily dollar
amount for purchases and sales across
all symbols, where purchases are
counted as positive values and sales are
counted as negative values.4
The Exchange also proposes to
provide that if a member does not selfclear, the member may allocate the
responsibility for establishing and
adjusting the Gross Credit and Net
Credit risk settings to a clearing member
that clears transactions on behalf of the
member, if designated in a manner

(February 21, 2020), 85 FR 11421 (‘‘Notice’’).

Rule 11.13. For purposes of calculating both the
Gross Credit Risk Limit and the Net Credit Risk
Limit, only executed orders would be included. See

prescribed by the Exchange.5 A member
that allocates this responsibility to its
clearing member would be able to view
any risk setting established by the
clearing member and would be notified
of any action taken by the Exchange
with respect to the member’s trading
activity.6 However, the member would
cede all control and ability to establish
and adjust the risk settings to its
clearing member,7 but the member
would retain the ability to revoke the
responsibility allocated to its clearing
member at any time, if designated in a
manner prescribed by the Exchange.8
Pursuant to the proposal, any
specified limits for the risk settings
applicable to the Gross Credit or Net
Credit Risk Limits may only be set at the
MPID level and may be established or
adjusted before the beginning of a
trading day or during the trading day.9
Both the member and the clearing
member may enable alerts to signal
when the member is approaching the
designated limits.10 These alerts would
generate when a member breaches
certain percentage thresholds of its
designated risk limit, which would send
an email message to the recipients
designated by the member or clearing
member.11 According to the Exchange,
it anticipates initially setting the
thresholds at fifty, seventy, or ninety
percent of the designated risk limit.12
The proposed rule change would also
specify that if a risk setting is breached,
the Exchange would automatically block
new orders submitted and cancel open
orders until the applicable risk control
is adjusted to a higher limit by the
member or clearing member with the
responsibility of establishing and
adjusting the risk settings.13 Finally, the
5 See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(c) of
Rule 11.13. The Exchange notes that all members
are required to either clear their own transactions
or to have in place a relationship with a clearing
member that has agreed to clear transactions on
their behalf in order to conduct business on the
Exchange. See Notice, supra note 3, at 11422.
6 See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(c) of
Rule 11.13.
7 See Notice, supra note 3, at 11422.
8 See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(c) of
Rule 11.13.
9 See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(b) of
Rule 11.13.
10 See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(d)
of Rule 11.13. The Exchange notes that a clearing
member would have the ability to enable alerts
regardless of whether it was allocated
responsibilities pursuant to proposed Interpretation
and Policy .03(c) of Rule 11.13. See Notice, supra
note 3, at 11423 n.11.
11 See Notice, supra note 3, at at 11423.
12 See id.
13 See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(e) of
Rule 11.13. The Exchange notes, however, that
orders entered for participation in the opening or
closing auction cannot be canceled or modified
after the applicable ‘‘cut-off’’ time, but will be

Exchange proposes to amend Rule
11.15(f) to specify that the Exchange
may share any of a member’s risk
settings specified in Interpretation and
Policy .03 of Rule 11.13 with the
clearing member that clears transactions
on behalf of the member.
III. Discussion and Commission
Findings
After careful review, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.14 In particular, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,15 which requires,
among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
The Commission believes that the
proposed rule change is reasonably
designed to provide members with an
optional tool to manage their credit risk.
The Commission notes that other
exchanges have established risk
protection controls that are similar in
many respects to the Exchange’s
proposal.16 The Commission also notes
that the Exchange currently provides
credit controls that measure gross and
net exposure, similar to the proposed
risk limits.17 Unlike the proposed risk
limits, however, the Exchange’s existing
credit controls apply at the logical port
level, rather than by MPID, and are
applied based on a combination of
marked for cancellation. See Notice, supra note 3,
at 11423 n.13. Similarly, the Exchange notes that
orders entered for participation in the Cboe Market
Close (‘‘CMC’’) will be matched for execution at the
applicable cut-off time, and cannot be canceled or
modified after such time. See id. According to the
Exchange, therefore, if a risk setting breach occurs
after the applicable cut-off time for an opening or
closing auction, or the CMC, the auction orders or
CMC auction orders would not be canceled or
modified. See id. See also Rule 11.23(b)(1)(B) and
(c)(1)(B) and Rule 11.28(a) and (b).
14 In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission notes that it has considered the
proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

outstanding orders on the Exchange’s
book and notional execution value,
rather than based simply on a notional
execution value.18 The Commission
believes that the proposed rule change
would provide an additional option for
members seeking to further tailor their
risk management capability while
transacting on the Exchange. The
Commission also believes that the
proposed rule change is reasonably
designed to provide clearing members
additional opportunity to monitor and
manage the potential risks that they
assume when clearing for members of
the Exchange, as well as to provide
clearing members with greater control
over their risk tolerance and exposure
on behalf of their correspondent
members, while also providing an alert
system designed to help ensure that
both members and clearing members are
made aware of developing issues.
The Commission notes that the
proposed Gross Credit and Net Credit
Risk Limits are optional functionalities.
The Commission reminds members
electing to use the proposed risk limits
to be mindful of their obligations to,
among other things, seek best execution
of orders they handle on an agency
basis. A broker-dealer has a legal duty
to seek to obtain best execution of
customer orders, and the decision to
utilize the proposed risk settings,
including the parameters set forth by the
member for the risk setting, must be
consistent with this duty.19 For
instance, under the proposal, members,
or their respective clearing members on
their behalf, have discretion to set the
Gross Credit Risk Limit or Net Credit
Risk Limit. While the Exchange did not
affirmatively establish minimum and
maximum permissible settings for these
limits in its proposed rule change, the
Commission expects the Exchange to
periodically assess whether the risk
limits are operating in a manner that is
consistent with the promotion of fair
and orderly markets. In addition, the
Commission expects that members will
consider their best execution obligations
when establishing the parameters for the
risk limits.20 For example, to the extent
that a member’s risk settings are set to
overly-sensitive parameters, particularly

id. See also Notice, supra note 3, at 11422.

20 The Commission reminds broker-dealers that
they must examine their procedures for seeking to
obtain best execution in light of market and
technology changes and modify those practices if
necessary to enable their customers to obtain the
best reasonably available prices. See Order

if a member’s order flow to the
Exchange contains agency orders, a
member should consider the effect of its
chosen settings on its ability to receive
a timely execution on marketable
agency orders that it sends to the
Exchange in various market
conditions.21 The Commission cautions
that brokers considering their best
execution obligations should be aware
that agency orders they represent may
be blocked or canceled on account of
the Gross Credit and Net Credit Risk
Limits.
Based on the foregoing, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Act.
IV. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,22 that the
proposed rule change (SR–CboeBZX–
2020–006) be, and hereby is, approved.

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated

Approving a Proposed Rule Change To Provide Members Certain Optional

11.13
April 8, 2020.
I. Introduction
On February 12, 2020, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to
provide members certain optional risk settings under proposed
Interpretation and Policy .03 of Rule 11.13. The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the Federal Register on February 27,
2020.\3\ The Commission received no comment letters on the proposed
rule change. This order approves the proposed rule change.

\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88263 (February 21,
2020), 85 FR 11421 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Description of the Proposal
The Exchange proposes to offer two optional credit risk settings
that would authorize the Exchange to take automated action if a
designated limit for a member is breached. Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to offer: (i) The ``Gross Credit Risk Limit,'' a pre-
established maximum daily dollar amount for purchases and sales across
all symbols, where both purchases and sales are counted as positive
values, and (ii) the ``Net Credit Risk Limit,'' a pre-established
maximum daily dollar amount for purchases and sales across all symbols,
where purchases are counted as positive values and sales are counted as
negative values.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(a) of Rule 11.13.
For purposes of calculating both the Gross Credit Risk Limit and the
Net Credit Risk Limit, only executed orders would be included. See
id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange also proposes to provide that if a member does not
self-clear, the member may allocate the responsibility for establishing
and adjusting the Gross Credit and Net Credit risk settings to a
clearing member that clears transactions on behalf of the member, if
designated in a manner prescribed by the Exchange.\5\ A member that
allocates this responsibility to its clearing member would be able to
view any risk setting established by the clearing member and would be
notified of any action taken by the Exchange with respect to the
member's trading activity.\6\ However, the member would cede all
control and ability to establish and adjust the risk settings to its
clearing member,\7\ but the member would retain the ability to revoke
the responsibility allocated to its clearing member at any time, if
designated in a manner prescribed by the Exchange.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(c) of Rule 11.13.
The Exchange notes that all members are required to either clear
their own transactions or to have in place a relationship with a
clearing member that has agreed to clear transactions on their
behalf in order to conduct business on the Exchange. See Notice,
supra note 3, at 11422.
\6\ See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(c) of Rule 11.13.
\7\ See Notice, supra note 3, at 11422.
\8\ See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(c) of Rule 11.13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the proposal, any specified limits for the risk
settings applicable to the Gross Credit or Net Credit Risk Limits may
only be set at the MPID level and may be established or adjusted before
the beginning of a trading day or during the trading day.\9\ Both the
member and the clearing member may enable alerts to signal when the
member is approaching the designated limits.\10\ These alerts would
generate when a member breaches certain percentage thresholds of its
designated risk limit, which would send an email message to the
recipients designated by the member or clearing member.\11\ According
to the Exchange, it anticipates initially setting the thresholds at
fifty, seventy, or ninety percent of the designated risk limit.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(b) of Rule 11.13.
\10\ See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(d) of Rule
11.13. The Exchange notes that a clearing member would have the
ability to enable alerts regardless of whether it was allocated
responsibilities pursuant to proposed Interpretation and Policy
.03(c) of Rule 11.13. See Notice, supra note 3, at 11423 n.11.
\11\ See Notice, supra note 3, at at 11423.
\12\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed rule change would also specify that if a risk setting
is breached, the Exchange would automatically block new orders
submitted and cancel open orders until the applicable risk control is
adjusted to a higher limit by the member or clearing member with the
responsibility of establishing and adjusting the risk settings.\13\
Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 11.15(f) to specify that
the Exchange may share any of a member's risk settings specified in
Interpretation and Policy .03 of Rule 11.13 with the clearing member
that clears transactions on behalf of the member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See proposed Interpretation and Policy .03(e) of Rule
11.13. The Exchange notes, however, that orders entered for
participation in the opening or closing auction cannot be canceled
or modified after the applicable ``cut-off'' time, but will be
marked for cancellation. See Notice, supra note 3, at 11423 n.13.
Similarly, the Exchange notes that orders entered for participation
in the Cboe Market Close (``CMC'') will be matched for execution at
the applicable cut-off time, and cannot be canceled or modified
after such time. See id. According to the Exchange, therefore, if a
risk setting breach occurs after the applicable cut-off time for an
opening or closing auction, or the CMC, the auction orders or CMC
auction orders would not be canceled or modified. See id. See also
Rule 11.23(b)(1)(B) and (c)(1)(B) and Rule 11.28(a) and (b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Discussion and Commission Findings
After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\14\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\15\ which
requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities
exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission
notes that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
\15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission believes that the proposed rule change is reasonably
designed to provide members with an optional tool to manage their
credit risk. The Commission notes that other exchanges have established
risk protection controls that are similar in many respects to the
Exchange's proposal.\16\ The Commission also notes that the Exchange
currently provides credit controls that measure gross and net exposure,
similar to the proposed risk limits.\17\ Unlike the proposed risk
limits, however, the Exchange's existing credit controls apply at the
logical port level, rather than by MPID, and are applied based on a
combination of
[[Page 20794]]
outstanding orders on the Exchange's book and notional execution value,
rather than based simply on a notional execution value.\18\ The
Commission believes that the proposed rule change would provide an
additional option for members seeking to further tailor their risk
management capability while transacting on the Exchange. The Commission
also believes that the proposed rule change is reasonably designed to
provide clearing members additional opportunity to monitor and manage
the potential risks that they assume when clearing for members of the
Exchange, as well as to provide clearing members with greater control
over their risk tolerance and exposure on behalf of their correspondent
members, while also providing an alert system designed to help ensure
that both members and clearing members are made aware of developing
issues.

The Commission notes that the proposed Gross Credit and Net Credit

members electing to use the proposed risk limits to be mindful of their
obligations to, among other things, seek best execution of orders they

Release''); 51808 (June 9, 2005), 70 FR 37496, 37537-38 (June 29,
2005).
\20\ The Commission reminds broker-dealers that they must
examine their procedures for seeking to obtain best execution in
light of market and technology changes and modify those practices if
necessary to enable their customers to obtain the best reasonably
available prices. See Order Handling Rules Release, supra note 19,
at 48323.
\21\ For example, a marketable agency order that would have
otherwise executed on the Exchange might be prevented from reaching
the Exchange on account of other interest from the member that
causes it to exceed the pre-established risk limit and thereby
results in the Exchange blocking new orders from the member.

change is consistent with the Act.
