Client UK Asset Manager
Motivation   To improve revenue
Outline
A large UK Asset Manager was concerned that they were not maximising revenue from their securities lending. We analysed the data submitted by their lending Agent to Performance Explorer and made a presentation to them with recommendations on the precise areas where their Agent was weak. Also included were suggested alterations to their collateral guidelines and a review of how similar organisations are positioned with regard to securities lending.

Client UK Pension Fund
Motivation   Trustees were sceptical about securities lending
Outline
We successfully helped a UK Pension Fund to convince their Trustees that it made sense to allow their Custodian Agent to have access to lend all of their portfolio. We used Performance Explorer to measure their potential revenue. Their income from this business will increase by 1000% as a result.

Client Asset Manager
Motivation   Wanted independent verification that they were receiving a fair price for lending their portfolio to an affiliate on an exclusive basis.
Outline
We carried out an ISIN level analysis of how much the portfolio could have earned by comparing a peer group of other like lenders and what they were able to earn from the same securities during the previous year. It was not only the quantitative approach that the client valued but also the fact that it was completely independent.
