IHS Markit, in conjunction with the International Թ Lending Association (ISLA), are launching an industry-wide working group with the aim of issuing a global Թ Lending Performance Measurement charter.

In a report, published by ISLA, Paul Wilson of IHS Markit suggested that the “lack of trust and use of Թ Lending Performance Measurement calls for overhaul and modernisation”.

The aim is to complete the work by Q3 2019 but allow some flexibility around adoption given the implementing Թ Finance Transactions Regulation implementation and potential development work.

Wilson explained in the report that the securities lending industry has dramatically evolved and has managed to continue adjusting itself to a variety of challenges.

However, not much has changed with Թ Lending Performance Measurement in keeping pace or staying in line with the structural customisation developments.

Wilson suggested that this has led to a common view from many beneficial owners that under the current approach “everyone seems to win”.

He suggested that having an industry-wide global standard, which all participants adhere to, will eliminate inconsistencies and lead to a far more trusted and utilised methodology.

Wilson concluded: “This is not about winners and losers—in fact, a fresh standardised approach will ensure all participants have a more accurate view of their respective programme performance.”
