EquiLend Holdings, an electronic securities lending service, extended its platform to include trading of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, according to Carrie R. Schwartz, director, marketing and communications. Since launching in 2002, EquiLend had offered securities lending services in global equities.
"The biggest thing for EquiLend is expanding our reach, providing a level of automation in an area that has had very little automation - and in fixed income in securities lending, there was no automation at all," Ms. Schwartz said.
