Taylor takes the helm at SASLA
Standard Bank's Juanita Taylor is the new chair of South Africa's securities lending body SASLA.
The appointment follows the departure of James Burgess from Macquarie Securities earlier this month.
Burgess had taken on SASLA chairman duties in March but has relinquished his role as part of the move away from Macquarie.
Johannesburg-based Taylor is head of securities lending at Standard Bank, a position she has held since 2013.
She first started working from the firm in 2002 after six years at Investec.
Set-up in 1989, SASLA’s goal is to promote the lending and borrowing of South African securities and safeguard the integrity of the industry at home and abroad.
More than twenty institutions make up South Africa’s securities lending market, including banks, insurance companies, pension funds, asset managers and service providers.
