==={{tag|Title transfer}} vs. {{tag|Pledge}}===
This feels as good a time as any to raise the great subject of [[title transfer]] and [[pledge]]. In a {{nutshell}}:
*'''Title Transfer''': The {{tag|English law CSA}} – outside the US, by far the most common type – is a [[title transfer]] document:
**when securities delivered to a party they become the recipient's property absolutely
**recipient does not hold them in custody for the transferor;
**recipient has only an obligation to redeliver an equivalent security.
**Therefore no {{tag|CASS}} question arises at any point.
*'''Pledge''': The English Law CSD and New York Law CSA are “pledge” documents:
**The transferor delivers the securities to the receipient to hold for the transferor – the transferor retains title
**Recipient holds securities as transferor's custodian subject to a {{tag|security interest}} securing their obligation under the swap.
**The custody arrangement only exists while recipient holds the security, not before.
