The securities lending market continues to hold rich promise and increasing appeal for global financial institutions, despite the impact of the tumultuous financial events of 2008. As the industry builds for future growth, the North American Securities Lending Forum will focus on the key challenges facing the global lending market and the attractiveness of its products and services to beneficial owners. Drawing on the views of key asset managers and securities lending providers operating in both onshore and offshore markets, the event will analyse the securities financing needs of hedge funds, the balance of risk and rewards securities lending offers and the impact of new regulations on the market. As part of the program, a special audience question and answer session headed by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Markets Group will cover the latest developments affecting the Daily Soma Securities Lending Program, the Term Securities Lending Facility and Treasury Market Practices Group.

The global securities lending market offers dynamic potential for beneficial owners across onshore and, increasingly offshore, markets. At an industry wide level, global regulation and risk management initiatives continue to preoccupy securities lending market participants. In a special discussion session headed: “What does the future hold”, senior participants, including RBC Dexia’s Mark Fieldhouse, will draw together the key thoughts, observations and conclusions from the latest North American Securities Lending Forum. The session will also feature some discussion on the attractiveness of the UCITS fund structure to securities lending specialists and the potential benefits of using offshore hubs such as Dublin and Luxembourg.
