Document background
The Master Repurchase Agreement is a fundamental document used in the Swiss financial markets to facilitate secured lending transactions through the sale and repurchase of securities. It provides a standardized framework that enables financial institutions to engage in repo transactions while ensuring compliance with Swiss regulatory requirements, particularly the Federal Act on Financial Market Infrastructures (FinfraG) and related regulations. The agreement includes detailed provisions for transaction execution, collateral management, margin maintenance, and default scenarios, reflecting Swiss market practices and legal requirements. This document is essential for institutions participating in the Swiss repo market and typically requires careful review and negotiation to ensure alignment with both parties' operational capabilities and risk management requirements.
