Securities Lending

Your choice for experience, strength and prudent investment practices
J.P. Morgan has one of the most extensive lendable portfolios of domestic and international securities. Our Securities Lending group is backed by J.P. Morgan's Broker/Dealer Services and Financial Institutions groups, which collectively manage relationships with creditworthy borrowers.

This provides access to the highest volume demand each day in order to obtain excellent returns on your portfolio. In addition, J.P. Morgan enjoys the reputation of being a "first call" priority agent with many of the world's top quality, high volume borrowers who are supplied with our inventory of securities available for loan.

Client-focused mission
Our objective is to help you obtain an attractive return while minimizing risk. To accomplish this, we offer you access to the largest number of carefully screened, quality borrowers to create lending opportunities under all market conditions and reduce risk through diversification.

Our primary role is to bring lenders and borrowers together, to evaluate borrower credit risk for the lender and to provide automated collateral monitoring, loan maintenance and recordkeeping.

Reliability
As a major clearing bank for securities firms and one of the largest clearers of government securities, J.P. Morgan has experience in all facets of securities lending. Lenders value the pivotal administrative and advisory support J.P. Morgan can provide as a full-service agent for:
  • Program management

  • Monitoring income and other entitlements

Your facilitator in the lending process
With us as your agent, you can confidently lend your securities to borrowers against the receipt of collateral, whether the securities are held in custody with J.P. Morgan or elsewhere. Moreover, our comprehensive resources and processes help assure that your investments are lent to creditworthy borrowers.

Our securities lending process involves a highly analytical, prudent approach toward achieving an attractive level of profitability. Through a combination of research, market information, individual expertise and solid negotiating skills, J.P. Morgan looks to capture the economic value of the securities lent, thus maintaining attractive spreads without having to resort to investing in lower credit quality issuers or taking excessive interest rate risk. We believe that our process is one of the best in the industry.
