Repurchase agreements

A securities repurchase agreement ('repo') involves a pair of trades with the same counterparty in the same security.

The second trade reverses the initial sale and purchase, but at a later date and different price.


The off leg is the second trade in the repo.

It is also known as the closing, far, second, or reverse leg.
