Northern Trust has launched a specialised securities lending technology and reporting platform designed to provide clients with transparent, continuous and timely information on their lending programme.

The 'dashboard' is customised to each individual client. The reporting enhancements display as a dashboard on Northern Trust Passport and provide securities lending clients with key metrics without the need for running reports.

The dashboard provides a snapshot of data that is specific to each client. This includes information such as loan and collateral balances, total earnings on lendable assets and investment maturity profile and credit ratings.

It also provides collateral pool-specific information, including market value of the pool and the client's percentage of ownership.

Additional information on counterparty credit ratings and loan details is planned to be added soon.

An additional section within the dashboard highlights commentary including Securities Lending Market Intelligence, an electronic monthly newsletter, and collateral pool-specific commentary for navigating the current financial landscape.
