About Securities Lending
Investment Strategy
Securities lending is a
global business, with an
estimated $2 trillion
of securities on loan at any
time. Over the past two decades,
the industry has expanded to
include securities from more
than 27 countries around the
world.
The ease of execution, sophisticated technology and broad
experience in the markets today have established securities
lending as a well-regarded investment management tool. As
a result, it has become an important investment strategy
to earn incremental returns for institutional investors.
When properly managed, lending securities offers an effective
and low-risk way to earn additional revenue on a portfolio.
