===Section {{eqderivprov|8.8}}: {{eqderivprov|Cash Settlement Payment Date}} === | |||
A provision that does very little to help an inquiring mind with the question “What is the {{eqderivprov|Cash Settlement Payment Date}} actually, like, ''for''?” | |||
For that, you would be advised to consult Section {{eqderivprov|8.6}}, {{eqderivprov|Cash Settlement of Equity Swap Transactions}}, which differentiates between “{{eqderivprov|Price Return}}”, which concerns itself purely with the prevailing equity price of the underlier, and “{{eqderivprov|Total Return}}” which also factors in [[dividend]]s paid on the relevant stock, and “[[slight return]]”, which is a Jimi Hendrix song.<ref>It doesn’t really relate to [[slight return]], though that is a Jimi Hendrix song.</ref> | |||
Note: {{eqderivprov|Dividend Amount}}s are typically payable on the {{eqderivprov|Cash Settlement Payment Date}} — though the Cash Settlement Payment Date following what — that is the question, whose answer, it turns out, is a little bit odd, as you will see if you investigate further. | |||

Now as you know, the {{isdama}} is a bilateral construct — In a funny way, a bit [[Bob Cunis]] like that — and while the [[equity derivatives]] market is largely conducted between dealers and their clients, this doesn’t mean the [[dealer]] is always the {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Payer}}. The client — as often as not, a [[hedge fund]] — is as likely to be taking a [[short]] position — [[locusts]], right? — as a [[long]] one. One does this by reversing the roles of the parties in the {{eqderivprov|Confirmation}}: The {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Payer}} for a ''[[long]]'' transaction will be a [[Swap dealer|dealer]]. The {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Payer}} for a ''[[short]]'' transaction will be the [[Hedge fund|fund]]. | Now as you know, the {{isdama}} is a bilateral construct — In a funny way, a bit [[Bob Cunis]] like that — and while the [[equity derivatives]] market is largely conducted between dealers and their clients, this doesn’t mean the [[dealer]] is always the {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Payer}}.
