ISDA was chartered in 1985, and today has more than 800 member institutions from 55 countries on six continents. These members include most of the world’s major institutions that deal in privately negotiated derivatives, as well as many of the businesses, governmental entities and other end users that rely on over-the-counter derivatives to efficiently manage the financial market risks inherent in their core economic activities. ISDA’s AGM is the preeminent event of the derivatives and risk management industry.
