Securities borrowing and lending

 
CGS International Securities borrowing and lending facility offers clients the opportunity to engage in hedging or arbitrage activities while avoiding failed settlements by allowing clients to borrow securities to cover their short positions. Under this facility, the lender lends the securities to the borrower in consideration of the collateral from the borrower. The borrower is required to return the securities borrowed to the lender upon the lender's demand or within a specified period. This facility provides traders with more liquidity, better risk management and a lower capital outlay. This service is an exclusive offering from CGS International Securities (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and CGS International Securities (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
