ASLA

The Australian Securities Lending Association was formed in 1991 to give securities lending industry participants a unified representation in regulatory and other issues relevant to its members. In addition to ASLA's role of assisting regulatory development, the Association also promotes standardisation through the industry in terms of documentation and market practice. ASLA currently represents 33 organisations across the spectrum of investment banks, custodian and commercial banks, brokers, legal firms and information technology providers.
