The Canadian Securities Lending Association (CASLA) has selected FinTuition as its partner in launching its new education initiative, a one-day course called Introduction to Securities Lending, designed to give attendees an introductory overview of securities lending, examining its features, characteristics and operation both in Canada and abroad.
“We are extremely pleased to partner with FinTuition to bring an accessible introduction to securities lending to Canada,” says Robert Chiuch, president of CASLA. “Launching this course is an important step in our efforts to help both market participants and the public better understand both the practices and the impacts of securities lending.”
Roy Zimmerhansl, owner and principal of FinTuition, adds: “Regulators around the world have acknowledged the critical role that securities lending plays in today’s capital markets, yet securities lending often remains misunderstood. CASLA’s efforts will lead to improved knowledge of the business amongst Canada’s large and sophisticated investment community during what is still a challenging environment. We are very pleased that CASLA has selected FinTuition to help inform and educate the markets, media and other interested parties.”
