The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) and the Investment Association (IA) have sent a follow-up letter to the Bank of England and the Prudential Regulation Authority about making permanent the UK European Market Infrastructure Regulation (UK EMIR) temporary exemption for certain equity options from exchanging initial margin and variation margin.
