About ISLA Americas

Incorporated in May 2024, ISLA Americas is a non-profit industry association, presently representing the common interests of securities lending agents, beneficial owners, institutional investors and other market practitioners in the Americas region. The founding membership of ISLA Americas transitioned over from the Risk Management Association (“RMA”), which previously served as the industry association representing agent and direct lending organizations in the United States. 

ISLA Americas works with industry, as well as national, regional, and global regulators and policy makers, to advocate for, amongst other things, the importance of securities lending to the broader and well-functioning capital markets. Through its annual Securities Finance Conference, ISLA Americas brings together securities lending and financing market participants to collaborate and shape the future of the industry. 

ISLA Americas is an affiliate entity of the long-established International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) – the leading trade association for securities financing market participants across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Its geographically diverse membership of over 180 firms includes institutional investors, asset managers, custodial banks, prime brokers and service providers. ISLA Americas, together with ISLA serves the broader membership across regions, where a collective “ISLA” can produce a more cohesive output, reflecting multi-jurisdictional operating models and the need for one global advocacy voice.
