ISDA has published version 1.0 of the ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (Versionable Edition) (the “Equity Definitions VE”) on the MyLibrary platform.
This publication, apart from the ability for the booklet to be updated in the future, is substantively the same as the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “2002 Equity Definitions”), as published by ISDA in 2002.
This publication is part of the initiative to allow additions and improvements to be made to the 2002 Equity Definitions. More information on such initiative can be found here.
