Welcome to the fall 2011 installment of the Securities Lending Newsletter. The latest version discusses the economic climate in key global markets and provides market updates from each of our trading desks.

In our regional focus, we highlight Brazil and J.P. Morgan’s successful settlement of the first securities lending transaction in Brazil. In the article we discuss the complexities of navigating the Brazilian market and the firm-wide resources J.P. Morgan used to actively participate in this emerging market.

Finally our desk updates look at how treasuries, agencies and corporates were affected by the last minute extension of the U.S. debt ceiling and the subsequent debt downgrade by Standard & Poor’s. We then address the current European sovereign debt crisis, and its effect on financial markets in the third quarter and give our forward-facing view of what we expect in the market in the coming months.

We hope you enjoy the content in the following pages and we encourage any feedback you may have. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, we look forward to helping your business succeed. If you would like more information, please contact your relationship manager.
