Over-the-counter. As opposed to on exchange, or regulated market, or MTF. It’s a quaint old notion that you could pop into your local branch of your investment bank and acquire a derivative contract from a teller, but there it is.
“OTC” really means a private, bilateral contract, on bespoke terms, in contrast to one that is standardised, public and traded on exchange.
Examples of OTC contracts
- Swaps traded under an ISDA Master Agreement (as long as they are not cleared derivatives)
- Securities lending and repo transactions
See also
- EMIR - which has been a right royal pain in the posterior to those legions of ISDA negotiators who quite liked the status quo - but which addresses such topics as
- Central counterparty clearing of OTC derivatives (so called “OTC to CCP”)
- Compulsory margining of OTC derivatives that aren’t centrally cleared
- Portfolio reconciliation and dispute resolution of OTC derivatives
