Template:M comp disc Equity Derivatives Transactions

The first eleven paragraphs of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions — twelce, if you include the Confirmations definition which doesn’t really belong anywhere else —set out all the types of Transaction you can have. These break down into:

• Option Transactions
• Forward Transactions
• Equity Swap Transactions
• Index Swap Transactions

And can be on a single Index or Share or a Basket of Indices or Shares. All are documented under Confirmations, though with the onset of Master Confirmation Agreements, synthetic prime brokerage and so on, these are no longer the old-fashioned epistles they once were.
