Collateral Management In OTC Derivatives & ISDA framework: A Pocket Guide to Collateral Operations, Legal Frameworks, Risk Management & Regulatory Compliance

This professional Book is designed for finance professionals, risk managers, treasury practitioners, compliance officers, law students, MBA candidates, and anyone seeking a thorough understanding of collateral management within the context of OTC (Over-the-Counter) derivatives markets and the ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) legal framework.

The global OTC derivatives market, with a notional outstanding exceeding USD 700 trillion as of recent BIS estimates, represents one of the most complex and systematically critical segments of the global financial system. Within this ecosystem, collateral management is the operational, legal, and risk cornerstone that ensures bilateral counterparty obligations are adequately secured.

This Book covers the entire collateral management lifecycle — from foundational concepts through legal documentation, daily operational workflows, margin calculation methodologies, dispute resolution, regulatory mandates including UMR (Uncleared Margin Rules), EMIR, and Dodd-Frank, to emerging technologies transforming the space.
