ISDA launches initiative to update the 2002 Equity Definitions

Article summary

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has launched an initiative to update the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (2002 Equity Definitions), following consultations and agreement with members of the ISDA Equity Steering Committee. The first step is to publish a digital version of the 2002 Equity Definitions which will be updated over time within ISDA’s MyLibrary platform. This digital version is expected to be published by the end of 2023 and will be version 1.0 of the 2002 Equity Definitions. ISDA will work with members of the ISDA Equity Groups to prioritise the items that would be gradually added to subsequent versions of the digital version, to determine the timelines for publication of future versions and to devise a market adoption plan of the new definitions booklet.
