Some Q&A on
from twitterQ:Who receives dividends during the lending/borrowing period? Is there a risk that you may lose your shares if the borrower goes bust or dies? Is there a dispute resolution mechanism?
A:All contracts will close on announcement of corporate actions allowing the owner of the shares to enjoy dividends, share splits and bonuses etc. There is 100% collateral required and an additional 10% margin to reduce risk of default on expiry of contracts.
