The Pan-Asia Securities Lending Association (PASLA) has announced that Ben Burns will chair the Association with immediate effect, as former chair Stuart Jones relinquishes his position.
Burns, a member of the PASLA executive committee, has been a director of the Association for more than three years, as well as a key member of multiple working groups.
In his new role, Burns will continue to focus PASLA efforts on promoting open, transparent and efficient securities lending practices across Asia-Pacific.
In addition, he will play a key position in the recruitment of an appropriate CEO for PASLA.
Representatives of the Association comment: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank Stuart for his outstanding contribution as a PASLA director for over 10 years and chair for 5 years.
“He has been instrumental in integrating our franchise with the securities lending industry and we wish him well in his future endeavours.”
