The ISDA SIMM methodology remains a central part of the SIMM Governance Framework that ISDA SIMM users are expected to adhere to.
SIMM version 2.8+2512 has an effective date of 11 July 2026. Accordingly, SIMM users should use this version to calculate initial margin for Close of Business (COB) on Friday, 10 July 2026 onwards.
