ICMA Education & Training

ISLA & ICMA - International Capital Market Association have partnered up to run two in-person training courses throughout May 2024! Repo & Securities Lending Under the GMRA – GMSLA will be running over three days in May. This course provides a solid and broad understanding of all key aspects of repo and securities lending and of the trading and post-trade management of these instruments within the frameworks provided by the GMRA and GMSLA. Following this, the ISLA & ICMA Workshop: Securities Lending will be run over two days on 30 & 31 May, and is suitable for personnel working within many departments of financial institutions such as operations, middle office, risk, legal, accounting and IT. The course is applicable to buy and sell-side firms, plus those working within central securities depositories and custodians. The course is targeted towards those currently working within a securities lending department who would benefit from an all-round understanding of the topic. In addition, those who have had limited exposure to the topic but who require a greater understanding of the relationships between their work and securities lending & borrowing. ISLA Members also have the advantage of benefiting from the ICMA Member Rate.
