How it was checked · 2 checks
- Rule re-applied. The Maximum Maturity rule (v1.0), re-applied to the stored facts, gives the same result as the Mastermind v3 run of 2026-09-26.
- Quote verified. The clause quoted for the maturity date appears verbatim in the cited section.
Maximum Maturity
The obligation's remaining maturity, measured from the Delivery Date, must not exceed the Maximum Maturity (30 years by default). CDSBench measures it from the credit event date, which is conservative: any later Delivery Date only shortens the remaining maturity.
These checks are CDSBench's provisional reading of the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions, not legal advice.
