Boston Global Advisors and Goldman Sachs Agency Lending, the US and UK agency lending arms of Goldman Sachs, have joined EquiLend, the world's largest securities lending exchange.

The agencies are the first new participants on the exchange since last year, when Deutsche Bank, Nomura, and Abbey joined the system. They will now have access to a hub through which lenders can auction off stocks to a selected pool of borrowers via a single interface.
