Securities Lending & Dividend Arbitrage - Video

This video explores Dividend Arbitrage as it relates to securities lending. From the basics impacting cost savings for borrowers through to the ongoing Cum Ex scandal, I explore the topic. What it is, where its come from and where it is today. A very niche topic, but incredibly important one influencing behaviour across markets - a key part of Securities Lending Fundamentals.
