An ETF From Bill Gross
June 3, 2011--Is it a big deal that famed bond-fund manager Bill Gross is looking to launch an exchange-traded version of his Pimco Total Return fund? The answer may depend on whether you're an investor or a mutual-fund executive.

Remarks, Bringing Transparency to the Swaps Markets, National Association of Corporate Treasurers Conference
Chairman Gary Gensler
June 2, 2011--Good afternoon. I thank the National Association of Corporate Treasurers and Tom Deas for inviting me to speak today. Both the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and I have benefited from your thoughtful input and constant attention to important issues with regard to the swaps marketplace during the legislative process and the rule-writing process to implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
