Securities Lending Times

Securities Lending Times (SLT) is a financial magazine for securities lending, collateral management, beneficial owners and repo professionals.

History

Securities Lending Times was formed in 2010 by Justin Lawson and Steven Lafferty, Black Knight Media Ltd, a publishing company, based in Beckenham, Kent. The original editor was Ben Wilkie who was replaced in 2012 by Mark Dugdale, formerly of Bromley based publishing company Newton Media.

The idea for the newsletter, according to the Managing Director of Black Knight Media Ltd, Justin Lawson, was formed "following a meeting with an industry professional in 2009 about publications being too big and needing a more concise update on news."

Following the launch edition in June 2010, the newsletter was published fortnightly from then onwards. Most articles were contributed by the industry, with a few penned by its editors and other journalists.

Mark Dugdale has been the magazine's editor since 2012. He is also the publisher of Asset Servicing Times, Captive Insurance Times, IPPro Life Sciences and IPPro TheInternet.
