Sharegain has launched BetterLend, a new product allowing their clients to deliver Social and Environmental change through their securities lending activity. According to Sharegain, client revenues can be attributed to specific ESG projects including clean water, renewable energy and accessible education.
“For the first time, a securities lending agent is taking a stand, not just by supporting principles of sustainable finance, but ensuring securities lending revenue is doing good in our world,” said Boaz Yaari, Founder and CEO of Sharegain.
“Until now, securities lending has dealt with Governance – the ‘G’ of ESG, ensuring securities lending is ESG-compliant. Now is the time to make it truly compatible.
“Many investors want to achieve more with their securities lending. They want to deliver on the ‘E’ and the ‘S’ of ESG. With BetterLend, now they can.”
Through BetterLend, Sharegain clients can use their lending activity to create positive change across four focus areas: clean water, reforestation, renewable energy and education.
Sharegain clients choose the projects they want to support and the impact they want to create, then BetterLend does the rest.
“We are very proud to launch BetterLend, making sure securities lending is ESG-compliant, while enabling our clients to make a positive impact in the world by planting trees, digging wells and installing solar panels, all by lending their securities.”
