The company now provides securities lending solutions to prime brokers and clients with Malaysian assets.
According to JP Morgan, the customised solutions will allow lenders to define their own structures to meet their risk/reward requirements, and its indemnification programme against borrower default allows lenders to mitigate counterparty risk across their programmes.
JP Morgan WSS CEO of Asia ex-Japan & Australia Shaun Parkes said that the future for securities lending in Asia Pacific continues to demonstrate significant potential.
"Malaysia represents an important part of our regional growth strategy, and is a key value-add for our institutional client base that is looking to diversify their investments and mitigate their risk," Parkes said.
JP Morgan WSS has $17.9 trillion in assets under custody and $7.3 trillion in funds under administration.
