Template:Isda Credit Support Provider summ
A 1995 CSA is not a {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}} at all, but a {{{{{1}}}|Transaction}} under the ISDA Master Agreement. A 1994 NY CSA, on the other hand, is a {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}} though. Should a Party to the ISDA Master Agreement, where there is a 1994 NY CSA, be described as a “{{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Provider}}"?
No, sayeth the Users’ Guide to the 1994 NY CSA:
- “Parties to an ISDA Master Agreement should not, however, be identified as {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Provider}}s with respect to the Annex, as such term is intended only to apply to third parties.”
the Users’ Guide to the 2002 ISDA is similarly emphatically vague: “The meaning of “Credit Support Provider” ... should apply to any person or entity (other than any either party) providing , or a party to, a Credit Support Document delivered on behalf of a particular party.”
Does this mean that a 1994 NY CSA is a Credit Support Document, but the person providing Credit Support under it is not a Credit Support Provider? Or not?
So that’s cleared that up, then.
