Now here's a funny thing.

Techy linguistic aside: Now here’s a funny thing. In the {{2000gmsla}}, there were ''four'' defined terms relating to the {{gmslaprov|Securities}} and {{gmslaprov|Collateral}} that pass between the parties to a [[stock loan]], all of them [[noun]]s:  
 
*{{gmslaprov|Securities}}
Under the {{2010gmsla}}, by contrast there are three; two nouns and an adjective "{{eqderivprov|Securities}}", "{{gmslaprov|Collateral}}" and "{{gmslaprov|Equivalent}}".
*{{gmslaprov|Collateral}}
 
*{{gmslaprov|Equivalent Securities}}
The difference being? Well, it's a neat linguistic one:
*{{gmslaprov|Equivalent Collateral}}
:Under the {{gmsla2000}} - if you're the sort of person who gets upset about this kind of thing - to capture the concept of an asset or collateral under the loan whichever way it presently happens to be travelling, you would need to say "{{eqderivprov|Securities}} or {{eqderivprov|Equivalent Securities}}, as the case may be".
But under the {{2010gmsla}}, there are just ''three''; two shorter [[noun]]s and an [[adjective]]:
:In the 2010 model, you can capture the same concept by saying "{{eqderivprov|Securities}}" - because "{{eqderivprov|Equivalent}}" {{eqderivprov|Securities}} is not a distinct category, but a subset of the first category.
*{{gmslaprov|Securities}}
 
*{{gmslaprov|Collateral}}
So, chapeau to those clever people at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
*{{gmslaprov|Equivalent}}

Techy linguistic aside: Now here’s a funny thing. In the 2000 GMSLA, there were four defined terms relating to the Securities and Collateral that pass between the parties to a stock loan, all of them nouns:

But under the 2010 GMSLA, there are just three; two shorter nouns and an adjective:

This means you can move from the utterly tiring “Securities, Collateral, Equivalent Securities or Equivalent Collateral” which is fire-hosed throughout the 2000 GMSLA to the less offensive “Securities, Collateral or their Equivalents” in the 2010 GMSLA.[1]
