ISLA and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) have partnered to run an in-person workshop across three days in May 2024 – 8, 9 & 10 .
This course provides a solid and broad understanding of all key aspects of repo and securities lending and of the trading and post-trade management of these instruments within the frameworks provided by the GMRA and GMSLA. It is presented by a unique combination of experts with first-hand experience of all dimensions of repo and securities lending.
Although designed primarily for legal and documentation staff, the breadth of the course rigor provided by the documentary framework has made it very popular with staff with varied professional backgrounds and experience from a wide range of different types of institutions.
The GMRA-GMSLA workshop has been running since 2009.

The Regulatory Reporting Working Group (formerly known as the SFTR Working Group) has scope to also monitor developments in the SEC’s 10c-1a, SFDR and Short Selling Regulation (SSR) with member firms and other industry stakeholders, including fellow trade associations through multiple working groups and outreach streams.
The working group contains representatives from buy and sell side participants, vendors and tri-party agents; an important conduit between the market and regulatory bodies such as European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and National Competent Authorities (NCAs) as we look to define best practice for reportable data points and life cycle events.
