Securities Lending – Banks

  • Wells Fargo also manages 14 different securities lending pools.
    • These are arrangements whereby we will lend client securities out to different broker dealers.
    • In exchange, we receive collateral, often in the form of cash, and that cash is then invested.
    • It’s an ALM business, and the idea is for us to invest that cash at a higher rate than we pay out on those loans.
