In line with the needs of our members, much of our work is increasingly global in nature. Through ISLA Americas, we will be able to significantly enhance our capabilities across the Americas and deliver better outcomes for our wider membership.
About ISLA Americas
Incorporated in May 2024, ISLA Americas is a non-profit industry association, presently representing the common interests of securities lending firms in the Americas region, namely institutional investors, asset managers, and custodial banks.
ISLA Americas is an affiliate entity of the long-established International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) – the leading trade association for securities financing market participants across Europe, Middle East, and Africa (focusing primarily on securities lending and borrowing (SLB) activity).
ISLA Americas works with the industry, as well as national, regional, and global regulators and policy makers, to advocate for, amongst other things, the importance of securities lending to the broader financial services industry.
Over time, ISLA Americas and ISLA will continue to serve their respective regional members while also supporting firms with global operations that are members of both associations. Operating under the same brand, both associations work together to provide a more cohesive output, reflecting multi-jurisdictional operating models and addressing the growing demand for a unified global advocacy voice across regions.
