RBC Investor Services has confirmed the expansion of its securities lending programme.
The move will extend its service coverage to support the lending of client assets held in Malaysia, the Canadian bank’s 34th market.
Users of RBC Investor Services’ securities lending programme can use the service to generate ‘incremental portfolio returns’ within their defined investment and risk guidelines, the banks says.
Its securities finance offering enables clients to customise lending parameters, as well as access custody or third-party lending as well as disclosed and undisclosed agency models. It also deals in bilateral and triparty collateral management.
Commenting on the move, Kyle Kolasingh, head of market services solutions at RBC Investor Services, says: “The inclusion of Malaysia in our securities lending programme marks the latest step in a long-term plan to expand our market presence.
“We are consistently evaluating new key markets aligned with our beneficial owners’ global asset classes, keeping an eye on the horizon for upcoming opportunities in the securities lending landscape. Our focus remains on optimising our clients' assets.”
