This note outlines the best practice asset class tie-breaker logic, developed by ISDA working groups and adopted by the industry, to determine the reporting counterparty (“RP”) and/or the Unique Trade Identifier generating party (“UTI GP”) under jurisdictional or global trade reporting requirements.
