The Master Securities Loan Agreement (MSLA) under Swiss law serves as the primary contractual framework for securities lending transactions in the Swiss market and cross-border arrangements involving Swiss entities. This agreement is essential for financial institutions engaging in securities lending activities, providing a standardized yet customizable structure that covers all aspects of securities lending transactions, including loan initiation, collateral requirements, corporate actions, and default scenarios. The document is designed to comply with Swiss financial regulations, including FINMA requirements, while accommodating international market practices. It is particularly relevant for transactions involving Swiss securities, Swiss financial institutions, or where parties prefer Swiss law for its stability and well-established financial jurisprudence.
