Download or read book The Negotiation of OTC Derivatives Documentation written by Andrea Geat and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the ISDA Master Agreement (including the Credit Support Annex) as the benchmark for any OTC Derivatives documentation negotiation and explains the relevant "DOs and DON'Ts" when it comes to the most commonly negotiated terms, providing sufficient background to help the reader make an informed decision in relation to important elections. Particular focus is on a number of areas that include but are not limited to: the ISDA modular structure: 1992 and 2002 versions, the ISDA Credit Support Annex (Title Transfer - English Law and Pledge - New York and Japanese Law), practical insights about negotiating the ISDA and CSA, the ISDA protocols and other documentation initiatives linked to EMIR and Dodd-Frank, OTC Clearing, FATCA, Asia-Pacific Regulatory overview, Give-up trading models and documentation. There is no pretention to provide the basis for the perfect negotiation strategy or approach, but there are enough negotiation tips, sample provisions and case law references to help the readers understand what is important, permissible and sensible so as to drive the negotiation effectively. The sample provisions and documentation presented in this book are for reference only and serve the sole purpose of explaining the inherent impact and significance of the underlying topics, risks and issues calling for the inclusion of certain terms. By no means this book should be read or seen as a collection of provisions or templates for general use.

Download or read book The Post Reform Guide to Derivatives and Futures written by Gordon F. Peery and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the best ways to navigate the post-reform world of derivatives and futures The derivatives market is one of the largest, and most important financial markets in the world. It's also one of the least understood. Today we are witnessing the unprecedented reform and reshaping of this market, and along with these events, the entire life cycle of a derivatives transaction has been affected. Accordingly, nearly all market participants in the modern economy need to view the handling of risk by derivatives in a very different way. Many aspects of financial services reform are based on a belief that derivatives caused the Great Recession of 2008. While the difficulties we now face cannot be blamed solely on derivatives, the need to understand this market, and the financial products that trade within it, has never been greater. The Post-Reform Guide to Derivatives and Futures provides straightforward descriptions of these important investment products, the market in which they trade, and the law that now, after July 16, 2011, governs their use in America and creates challenges for investors throughout the world. Author Gordon Peery is an attorney who works exclusively in the derivatives markets and specializes in derivatives and futures reform and market structure. Since representing clients in Congressional hearings involving Enron Corp., he has developed extensive experience in this field. With this guide, he reveals how derivatives law, and market practice throughout the world, began to change in historic ways beginning in 2011, and what you must do to keep up with these changes. Explains what derivatives and futures are, who trades them, and what must be done to manage risk in the post reform world Accurately reflects the futures and derivatives markets as they exist today and how they will be transformed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Highlights the risks and common disputes regarding derivatives and futures, and offers recommendations for best practices in light of the evolving law governing derivatives The financial crisis has changed the rules of Wall Street, especially when it comes to derivatives and futures. The Post-Reform Guide to Derivatives and Futures will help you navigate this evolving field and put you in a better position to make the most informed decisions within it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trillion-dollar markets for futures, swaps, commodity options, and related derivatives are extremely important to the global economy because, among other things, they influence the prices that people pay for everything from heating oil and bread to the interest rates connected to mortgages and student loans. Due to technological advances in automation and artificial intelligence, these markets have recently undergone a dramatic transformation away from human-centered trading and operations to control by high-speed automated systems. In this work, Gregory Scopino explains how such changes present challenges to the oversight of these markets and discusses potential ways for authorities to address issues presented by computerized trading and related systems. This book should be read by anyone interested in learning how artificial intelligence is used in the financial markets and how those markets are - and should be - regulated.
