(28 June 2021) Orbisa estimates that as of April 2021, the global securities lending market is at $26.4 trillion in lendable assets and $2.3 trillion in securities currently on loan.

Securities lending allows investors to short-sell and provides investment funds with additional income in the form of fees they charge for lending securities.

  • The Americas equity market accounts for the largest part (46%) of the lendable assets, while government debt represents the largest share (49%) of assets currently on loan.
  • Information technology and consumer discretionary are the top sectors by the value of securities on loan.
  • The energy sector has the highest utilization rate — the value of the security on loan as a share of the total inventory of the security.
