May 2022 Q&A

It's that time again - a Q&A session for securities lending. In this video I answer several viewers questions from a write-in and get some great questions live from a viewer. I do live Q&A sessions every 3 months.

Here I address specifically:
Stock-based loans (sometimes called "stock loans")
Can retail investors lend stock?
Are securities lending fees a zero-sum game?
Why some transactions are fixed term while others are open-ended
How securities lending is used to support bank liquidity
