Regulators and markets, to further improve investor protection, should work: • to ensure clarity on the applicable law on cross border transactions • to seek international agreement on a legally enforceable definition of finality in a securities transaction • to ensure that local law fully protects the rights of beneficial owners • to strengthen securities laws both to ensure the rights of the pledgee and the protection accorded to client assets held in Securities Systems”
