ISLA

The International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) is a leading industry association, representing the common interests of securities lending and financing market participants across Europe, Middle East and Africa. A geographically diverse membership of over 170 members includes institutional investors, asset managers, custodial banks, prime brokers and service providers. Working closely with the global industry as well as regulators and policymakers, ISLA advocates the importance of securities lending in the context of broader capital markets, and supports the development of a safe and efficient framework for the industry by playing a pivotal role in promoting market best practice, amongst other things.
