Smaller entities can access the securities lending market for their funding needs, according to Ned Ireland, vice president and lead underwriter at Cayman Islands-based private advisory firm Cal & Schwartz Capital.

"We looked at the market and were just so disappointed with what was out there. Sure, a market exists for securities lending and it鈥檚 huge, but it鈥檚 really only for institutional traders,鈥 said Ireland.

Ireland believes that Cal & Schwartz is positioned to capture market capitalisation that does not exist for smaller markets.

"麻豆传媒 lending is written as this impossibly complex trading mechanism that doesn't work for smaller companies and that couldn't be further from the truth.鈥

鈥淲e have found that in fact our product is superior and allows smaller companies the ability to raise capital in a environment much less stringent and quicker than transitional avenues."

Cal & Schwartz has provided smaller companies with collateral, including letters of credit and bonds, so that they can participate in securities lending since 2010.

The firm 鈥渃an only work with sophisticated investors鈥, said Ireland, adding: 鈥淲e do have screening programmes put into place.鈥
