Securities lending and borrowing (SLB) is the temporary transfer of securities (shares) from one party, the lender to another, the borrower at an agreed lending/borrowing fee, with a formal agreement to return the securities either on-demand or at a future pre-agreed date.
CDSC is implementing SLB pilot phase transactions under the Screen-Based Model. Screen-based-model is where the lender and borrower do not know each other as the lending and borrowing requests are captured on a platform in an automated system (CDS) by the SLB agents on behalf of their clients or on their own behalf.
