Securities Lending: Technology Overview
The securities lending market forecast for commercial vendor solutions will grow to US$307 million in 2020.
Boston, March 30, 2017 – Most lending involving general collateral is automated, yet chat, email, and voice continue to be the norm when transacting in hard-to-borrow securities. Soon-to-be-enacted regulations will raise the bar for firms engaged in securities lending while triparty agreements involving central counterparties will also necessitate connectivity and standardized communications. These factors are forcing firms around the world to rethink their current technology setup to rationalize legacy systems, cut costs, improve operational risk profiles, and gain a more holistic, real-time view into securities lending and securities finance activities from one application.
