Securities lending in ETF, what the?

13»

Comments

  • My concern is that things could be a bit messy in the event of a crash. Especially with 20% of the ETF's holdings loaned out. I am not an expert so may be wrong but I would prefer if there were no securities lending at all (even if that sacrificed tiny gains from the lending fees/income)

    Even though I think that you are making a mountain out of a molehill, and have a complete lack of judgement and perspective, you might be interested that Lyxor Core ETFs do not engage in securities lending:

    Although SG might be thinking of selling its ETF business:

  • I did see the Lyxor ones yesterday and do prefer them to iShares.

    How do I have a complete lack of judgement and perspective?
