Monoline Insurer Reference Entities

The purpose of this list is to gather and disseminate information as to the reference entity names that market participants believe to be monoline insurers which may be referenced as such in a standard credit default swap. ISDA members have advised that it is current market practice to refer to Schedule 2 to the Monoline Supplement Agreement published by ISDA on Feb 29, 2008, when attempting to identifying monoline reference entities. As Schedule 2 is a stagnant list, ISDA members have suggested that it would be helpful to prepare and publicize a revised list of names in order to provide market participants with an ongoing source for identifying former and current monoline reference entities.
