What We Do


The Pan Asian Securities Lending Association (PASLA) is a leading industry association representing the interests of the securities finance market in the Asia Pacific region. Incorporated in 1995, it is dedicated to promoting the development of securities finance market structures in Asia in line with the needs of our membership and stakeholders. PASLA represents the majority of institutional participants in the Asia Pacific securities financing markets, providing a consensus view from the industry in dialogue with regulators, exchanges and policy makers across the region.

Securities finance is a very competitive business. While individual firms involved in the business may have their own unique marketing and business development strategies in Asia, the member firms believe that PASLA, as a collective group of major firms in the industry, provides an important benefit to Asian securities regulators, stock exchanges, and monetary authorities by providing an "industry consensus" on issues that affect the development of the securities lending business.

PASLA's aims are to:

  • To represent the common interests of institutions engaged in securities finance in the Asian and International securities lending markets.
  • Assist in the orderly, efficient, and competitive development of these markets.
  • Establish agreed global standards and good working practices whilst considering local regulations.
  • Liaise with Regulators and other organisations to promote and develop appropriate regulatory frameworks for the industry.
