London, November 11, 2026: – Sharegain, the global leader in securities lending for retail-facing financial institutions, today announced that Deputy CEO Keren Halperin has been re-elected to the Board of Directors of the International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) for a second consecutive term.
For over 20 years, Keren’s career has been rooted in capital markets, as a trader at a pioneering algo-trading firm, later as a regulator in the legal department of a major stock exchange, and for the past decade, Deputy CEO of Sharegain. Keren’s re-appointment is a recognition of this unique blend of experience and the broad perspective it has given her on the securities lending market.
The International Securities Lending Association is the leading trade association for the securities financing industry, with 280+ global members based in 35 jurisdictions, including beneficial owners, investors, asset managers, custodians, lenders, prime brokers and service providers, spanning the breadth of the securities financing ecosystem.
ISLA works with its members, global regulators and policy-makers, to drive clarity and best practice in a rapidly evolving landscape. The fifteen Officers and Directors on the ISLA board, who represent a geographically and functionally diverse group of member firms, work closely with ISLA’s senior management team to ensure that its strategy meets the demands of its growing membership and of society more broadly.
Commenting on her re-election, Keren said:
“Securities lending is experiencing exceptional growth, driven by factors including new sources of supply, developing markets and increased retail participation – with digital assets and tokenization reshaping how securities and collateral move. I will continue to champion this growth, bringing the voice of new participants and the next generation of beneficial owners from the neo-brokers and trading platforms I work with every day.
“I am equally committed to nurturing rising talent, advancing an equitable industry, and extending ISLA’s global footprint, so the brightest minds see our sector as the place to build an innovative, human-centric career.
“I would like to thank ISLA’s members for their continued trust. It’s a privilege to serve alongside such a talented and committed Board.”
