The International Â鶹´«Ã½ Lending Association (ISLA) has published the 2025 netting opinions that support the title transfer versions of the Global Master Â鶹´«Ã½ Lending Agreement (GMSLA).
The document includes additions for Andorra and Northern Ireland, increasing ISLA’s netting coverage to 67 jurisdictions.
For the first time, the Digital Assets Annex is also included, which will cover six jurisdictions — Belgium, England, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland.
The opinion coverage has also been extended to cover the Australian annex to the GMSLA 2010.
ISLA obtains legal opinions, updated annually, in a joint exercise with the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) to ensure the enforceability of the netting provision of the GMSLA.
All opinions cover at a minimum; companies, banks, and securities dealers, and most jurisdictions also cover insurance companies, hedge funds, mutual funds, and pension funds as parties to the GMSLAs.
