Main Page
The last vestige of a bicameral mind. A work in progress. Wanna contribute? Ping me here.
Here you will find idiosyncratic views of capital markets trading agreements, definitions booklets and other stuff, organised into evolving Anatomy™ and Nutshell™ guides. These may be out of date, incomplete, flippant, utter rubbish or just not there when you need them. Just so you know.
We have a bit of a thing about plain English. And flannel. But we quite like Latin, Greek, and metaphor, a literary device sadly overlooked in much modern legal documentation.
- Like The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this site has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate. Enter at your peril. (Yes, that's a disclaimer — lest the sky should fall in on my head, or yours.)
The main ones
- ISDA Anatomy: the 1992 ISDA and the 2002 ISDA, compared and contrasted.
- CSA Anatomy: the 1995 CSA.
- Equity Derivatives Anatomy: the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions.
- GMSLA Anatomy: the 2010 GMSLA.
- GMRA Anatomy: the Global Master Repurchase Agreement.
- CASS Anatomy: the FCA’s Client Money and Client Asset rules.
- COBS Anatomy: the FCA’s Conduct of Business rules.
