New FIF Working Group: Securities Lending Transparency

FIF has set up a new Securities Lending Transparency Working Group. This Working Group will discuss and prepare a comment letter on the SEC’s November 18 rule proposal to create a new reporting system for securities lending. The reporting system, as proposed by the SEC, will apply to equities and bonds, including corporates, Treasuries, Agencies, asset and mortgage-backed securities, and municipal securities. The reporting system, as proposed, will include transaction and position reporting.

FIF has scheduled the first call to discuss the SEC rule proposal for Tuesday November 30 at 11am ET. For the first call, FIF has invited members of the Back Office Committee, the TRACE, Short Sales/Reg SHO/Short Interest Reporting and Compliance Working Groups, and the new Securities Lending Transparency Working Group. This is to ensure that the relevant people are aware of the new rule proposal. For subsequent calls, FIF only will invite members of the new Securities Lending Transparency Working Group.
