We enable institutional clients and their investment funds to participate in the earnings opportunities of the securities lending market. In the chosen structure of the principal model, the bank acts as a "liquidity hub" where the supply of the investment funds and the demand of the global securities lending market meet.

Securities lending for Asset Manager

All market participants attach great importance to high liquidity on the capital markets. This is because the more liquid an asset can be traded on the capital market, the more efficiently position adjustments are possible due to narrow bid-ask spreads on the securities markets. Securities lending primarily serves the capital market by providing liquidity. Market participants who are willing to provide the market with liquidity in the respective assets are remunerated by the market in the form of fees.

Customer anonymity

Market- & Portfolioscreening

Thanks to broad market access to more than 20 international counterparties in the interbank market, trading platforms and other data providers, the Liquidity Hub constantly screens the securities lending market. The portfolios of the investment funds are also screened. In this way, opportunities can be identified at any time, exploited and realized in the form of fees as additional income for the investment funds.

Collateral Management

Daily collateral management ensures that the investment funds are overcollateralized at all times in accordance with the requirements of the KAGB and the CSSF. Income in the form of coupons or dividends is due to the beneficial owner, i.e. the lender of securities or the collateral provider. In order to avoid operationally complex processes, securities lending transactions are terminated or collateral is exchanged in daily collateral management when income payments are due.
