EquiLend ALD: Simplifying Credit Monitoring & Compliance

Broker dealers are required to monitor credit exposure and calculate capital requirements based on securities lending transactions with their underlying principal lenders.

Leveraging established EquiLend infrastructure, EquiLend’s ALD service will facilitate the direct movement of data between agent lenders and broker-dealers to support not only the onboarding process of the principal lenders for the credit prequalification of principals, but also daily open positions and collateral traded between themselves to enable the ALD requirements to be met.
