Securities Lending & Borrowing Training Course

Background

The number of Securities Lending & Borrowing transactions have been growing steadily for years. They now represent a substantial part of the daily settlement value in most European markets and play an important role in facilitating market liquidity. Securities L & B markets are driven by a diverse set of considerations such as raising portfolio returns, taking positions, creating leverage, raising finance, increasing delivery efficiency, and others. Both the lender and borrower side are also driven by a heterogeneous group of players. This course gives an overview of Securities Lending and Borrowing for those with no prior knowledge in the field. It outlines the different L & B markets with their specific processes, opportunities, and risks; it explores the motivations of different players in the market; and it describes the different circumstances in which institutions lend or borrow securities.
