Collateral Management: In securities lending and borrowing, collateral comprises assets given as a guarantee by a borrower to secure a securities loan and subject to seizure in the event of default. Collateral Management refers to the handling of all tasks related to the monitoring of collateral posted by a borrower (collateral reporting, processing of margin calls and returns, monitoring of collateral substitution, notification of corporate events, processing of securities transfers on behalf of the client, etc.)

Collateral Reinvestment: The service provider reinvests cash collateral under terms agreed with the client.

Collateral Risk: The service provider provides the client with timely reporting on collateral risks (such as timing mismatches between stock loan period and reinvestment term or exposure to long reinvestment maturities in case adverse market conditions arise and the stock loan is to be recalled).

Securities Lending: Certain firms need to borrow securities in order to cover their settlement obligations in the event of failed trades or taking short positions, or to take advantage of arbitrage and other opportunities. Institutions with large portfolios of securities are attractive to securities borrowers. Accordingly, global custodians provide securities lending services, typically with the custodian as agent matching its clients with approved borrowers. The custodian oversees the posting of collateral by the borrower, collects dividends and other economic benefits for the lender during the life of each loan and shares in the lending fee payable by the borrower. The lender can terminate a loan at any time, generally with recall notice of three business days.
