PASLA is excited to share the latest episode of ASIA SECURITIES FINANCE MONTHLY hosted by Matt MacArthur, exclusively sponsored by EquiLend.

This month we come full circle with our series from the 2025 PASLA Conference in Macau. With an exclusive interview, we sit down with Nick Lesson, the former rogue trader. In this extraordinary discussion we discuss his story and about the circumstances of the dramatic collapse Barings Bank in the mid-90s, through to his inspiring journey of redemption.

We also catch up with Andy McCardle (EquiLend, Hong Kong) for an update on markets and all things data content, and why APAC is continuing to outperform year over year.

Essential listening for anyone interested in securities finance in Asia.

We look forward to delivering more podcasts throughout the year. Contact us at [email protected] for feedback, topic suggestions and sponsorship opportunities.
