The Canadian Securities Lending Association (CASLA) closed the market at the Toronto Stock Exchange on 3 June, ahead of its 14th annual securities lending conference. Representatives from the association joined Steve Everett, head of business strategy and innovation at the Toronto Stock Exchange, to ring the closing bell. Founded in 2009 by CIBC Mellon, Northern Trust, RBC and State Street, CASLA was created to ensure the long-term viability of the markets and increase public understanding of securities lending. With membership spanning more than 20 firms across Canada and the US, the association has come a long way as it now prepares to celebrate its 14th annual conference. This year's event will take place on 6 June in Toronto, and promises a day of panel discussions, networking, and market insights from industry experts.
