Securities lending is the practice of temporarily transferring securities from one party to another, typically in exchange for collateral and a fee. The borrower uses the securities for purposes such as short selling or arbitrage, with an agreement to return them at a later date. This activity facilitates market liquidity and various trading strategies.
