Welcome to ABC Score™ Lab


A New Chapter in Financial Transparency and Informed Decision-Making

Global PSSL CIC is entering a new phase, with ABC Score™ Lab (Assess–Balance–Calibrate) becoming our principal workstream. The Lab will develop and test practical approaches to strengthen transparency, governance and informed decision-making across the wider financial system.

As part of this transition, we have suspended the Global PSSL Secretariat, College of Advisors and existing working teams. The Global PSSL Principles remain in place, while ABC Score™ will continue to be maintained and developed.

We will be refreshing this website soon to reflect our new direction and the broader work of ABC Score Lab.

Update from the CEO

Global PSSL offers a new way of thinking and driving sustainable securities lending in accordance with the best governance practices and thought leadership. We have seen tremendous interest from beneficial owners, agent lenders, prime brokers, hedge funds, data providers, the media, regulators, international organisations, academia – basically – across the entire community of practitioners and stakeholders.

Global PSSL is a Community Interest Company established solely to create, maintain, update and promote a recognised global market standard for sustainable securities lending. Moving forward, we remain impartial and independent of trade associations or special interest groups. In doing so we ensure this is an all-inclusive industry initiative working towards sustainable development goals.

Having said this, we encourage and welcome input and feedback from regional securities lending associations as we want to make sure we function as a true market standard. We will analyse any commentary and weight it appropriately initially during the consultation phase (starting 15th December 2020, when we launch Global PSSL for public peer review).
