The last vestige of a bicameral mind. A work in progress, with 4,499 articles — you read that right —and counting. Wanna get in touch? 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 These may be out of date, incomplete, flippant, utter rubbish or just not there when you need them.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.
