Securities lending in France
Share this:
These French stocks are generating significant securities lending revenue. Who is capturing it?
French small-caps across AI infrastructure, biotech and medtech innovation are generating significant securities lending revenue – with selected names hitting annualised lending rates of up to 260% in February 2026, according to Sharegain data.
Online brokers across the rest of Europe that offer securities lending (le prêt de titres) are already capturing this revenue for their business and their clients – but most retail investors in France are yet to earn their share.
