Securities lending best practice

Securities lending best practice and meeting the expectations of the 2020 UK Stewardship Code The 2020 version of the UK Stewardship Code sets high expectations for how investors, and those that support them, invest and manage money on behalf of UK savers and pensioners, and how this leads to sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society. Yet in its Review of Early Reporting published on 30th September 2020 the Financial Reporting Council noted that in general signatories’ approaches to stock lending had been under-reported. This session will explore what best practice securities lending programme oversight looks like and how signatories to the Code can enhance their Code reporting to satisfy the raised expectations of the FRC.
