The International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) has welcomed nine newcomers to its 15-strong board, as well as confirming the return of its current chair and deputy chair for a three-year term.
ISLA’s newcomers include:
Poya Agha-Bozorgi, Morgan Stanley
Harpreet Bains, JPMorgan Chase
Ina Budh-Raja, BNY Mellon
Matthew Chessum, Aberdeen Asset Management
Arnaud Fransioli, Société Générale
Matt Glennon, Citibank
Tanja Hauenstein, Credit Suisse
Mat McDermott, Goldman Sachs
Ed Oliver, eSecLending
Jonathan Lombardo from Deutsche Boerse will remain as chair, Alessandro Cozzani from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, retains his deputy chair position, and Paul Bradford from ING will continue to be the ISLA’s treasurer.
Meanwhile, Stefan Kaiser of BlackRock, Eicke Reneerkens from Union Investment, and Ueli von Burg, of Zürcher Kantonalbank will be returning to the board.
In total, the 15 members represent multiple global and regional firms as well as functions across the industry.
According to Lombardo the new board is “by far the most diverse ISLA has experienced”.
“This [diversity] is a direct reflection of our changing marketplace and membership,” he added. “The expertise that this board brings will define the roadmap of our industry for the next three years and will continue to guide the ISLA team in their endeavors across advocacy, regulatory and market change.”
Discussing the group, which will meet for the first time later this month, ISLA CEO, Andrew Dyson, said: “I believe this group provides an excellent platform to enable ISLA to continue delivering on its ambitious agenda. The team and I very much look forward to working with them”.
One of the new board’s first tasks will be to grapple with the association’s efforts to redefine its role as an industry representative in a post-regulatory implementation framework that the securities lending market will find itself in as the final pieces of post-crisis regulation slot into place through-out 2020.
Speaking at ISLA’s post trade event last month, Dyson said that as part of the body’s recognition of the new chapter in its existence, ISLA is drafting a manifesto on the role of securities lending across the EU27 and its place in the market.
Specifically, Dyson said the association will move on from focusing on incoming regulations to address other industry concerns such as promoting efforts towards the digitalisation of market processes.
