Securities finance: Securities lending industry defines its digital future
In a white paper 18 months ago, the International Securities Lending Association (Isla) and law firm Linklaters proposed that the securities lending market is at a crossroads. The market is becoming ever-more complex and regulation more onerous. Processes and systems that previously served the market relatively well are now becoming more cost and time-intensive.
The white paper – called ‘The Future of the Securities Lending Market: An Agenda for Change’ – predicted costs and risk will continue to increase, potentially to unsustainable levels. This means that standardising, automating and streamlining processes is more important than ever.
