The State of Indemnification in Securities Lending: a webinar for the global buy-side

November 20, 2024
10AM ET / 3PM UK / 4PM CET

As part of the Finadium Investors in Securities Lending (FISL) event program, Finadium and leading agent lenders invite asset owners and asset managers globally to join this webinar on the current state of indemnification in securities lending. Finadium subscribers and confirmed FISL 2025 sponsors are also invited to join.

Indemnification that protects against the risk of a counterparty default remains an important offering in securities lending. Variations on bank, insurance and guarantee-based indemnification are prevalent, and some beneficial owners have opted to lend without indemnification.

Join this webinar to learn about the latest opportunities and challenges to indemnification including how it functions today, impacts from Basel III Endgames, where it  matters most, and whether indemnification matters when borrowers are assessing the RWA of their lender counterparties.

This webinar is open to all asset owners and asset managers globally, Finadium subscribers and confirmed FISL 2025 sponsors.

Discussion topics include:

• How important is counterparty default indemnification for clients in running or maintaining their program
• What are the options for clients between bank indemnification and insurance-based indemnification?
• Can clients lend with and without indemnification to some or all counterparties? Does it matter if a client is lending to a G-SIFI?
• Is indemnification part of the solution for clients to mitigate RWA for borrowers? How about guarantees or other risk transfers?
• What impacts could the Basel III Endgames have on agent lender indemnification?
