BENEFITS OF ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP

ISDA's Associate Members enjoy many important advantages. Membership allows industry service providers to help formulate and stay up-to-date on developments, initiatives and policy issues affecting the business through:

Industry Participation
Only ISDA members are able to participate in the Association's numerous committees and task forces which serve to address issues in the rapidly evolving derivatives market.

Access to Information
Only ISDA members receive the numerous policy papers, response letters, market survey data, and communications on key business issues that ISDA and its consultants generate.

Discounted Rates for Publications
ISDA members receive substantial discounts when ordering copies of the Master Agreement and supporting documents that are published by the Association and widely used to document privately negotiated derivatives transactions. Primary Contacts at member firms receive complimentary copies of all new publications upon their release.

Conference Participation
Only ISDA members are eligible to attend the Association's Annual General Meeting, which is perhaps the industry's preeminent forum for the discussion of developments and issues in the privately negotiated derivatives business. In addition, a strong preference is given to enlisting speakers from ISDA member firms at the Association's numerous conferences and seminars.
