Securities Lending Programs

Goldman Sachs provides clients with a vast range of lending options that include: Exclusive Securities Lending; third-party Agency Securities Lending; Hybrid Securities Lending, which is a blend of the Exclusive and Agency Lending programs; and Auction and Administration Services. All of our programs are designed to be transparent to our clients’ daily trading and investing activities and therefore not impact clients’ ability to trade their portfolio.

Industry estimates the size of securities on loan globally to be in excess of $4 trillion, with significant participation from mutual funds, pension plans, endowments and insurance companies. Lending securities with Goldman Sachs represents an opportunity to generate substantial incremental revenues.

Our programs optimize clients’ economic returns by using a value-based, rather than volume-based, approach to lending. Goldman Sachs securities lending traders, with their in-depth market knowledge and experience, are well positioned to maximize clients’ portfolio returns.
