Summary
The National Futures Association has issued a final enforcement order against Commodity Asset Management LLC, directing the firm to withdraw from NFA membership and prohibiting it from reapplying for membership at any point in the future. The order also bars the firm from acting as a principal of any NFA member organization, effectively removing it from the regulated futures industry under NFA jurisdiction.
Jonathan Mark Tulkoff, listed as an associated individual with Commodity Asset Management, is subject to identical restrictions. The hearing panel's order prevents Tulkoff from applying for NFA membership, reapplying for associate membership, or serving as a principal of any NFA member firm in perpetuity. This dual-level enforcement—targeting both the firm entity and its principal—indicates a serious regulatory violation warranting comprehensive industry exclusion.
The NFA's decision represents a final administrative action with no pathway for reconsideration or future membership restoration under the same organizational structure. This type of permanent bar is typically issued following formal hearing procedures and reflects substantive regulatory or compliance failures. The enforcement aligns with NFA's broader regulatory framework, which governs commodity pool operators (CPOs), commodity trading advisors (CTAs), and associated persons in the futures markets. The order underscores the NFA's commitment to maintaining market integrity and protecting market participants through selective removal of firms that fail to meet regulatory standards.
