Securities Lending

Credit Suisse has built its reputation in third-party securities lending based on its resources, expertise and risk management infrastructure. However, what our clients appreciate most is the level of service demonstrated in our willingness, flexibility and capability to tailor a program to meet specific needs and requirements. Credit Suisse can achieve this through its unique position as a bank and a broker/dealer, combining both agent and principal securities lending programs under one umbrella.

The benefits of one seamless program include superior market color, increased opportunities in emerging markets, a single asset gathering team, and superior global coverage.

The agency lending function within Credit Suisse Prime Services provides proactive lending execution, superior cash management, and exceptionally experienced traders. As a principal lender, Credit Suisse Prime Services lends an unrivaled supply of assets to its clients, ensuring liquidity by delivering a diverse and extensive supply of securities, by utilizing the assets of Credit Suisse Group, leveraging relationships with custody banks and the agent lending community, and gaining access to "hard-to-borrow" securities.
