EquiLend, a global fintech leader in securities finance, introduced a new AI-powered assistant within its Data & Analytics suite, designed to help users interact with securities finance and short interest insights more efficiently. The assistant is now available via the DataLend interface and the Orbisa app on the Bloomberg Terminal.
Unlike general-purpose chatbots, EquiLend’s assistant is trained exclusively on the firm’s extensive research and market insights. It delivers fast, context-rich responses to user queries, enabling traders, analysts, and portfolio managers to explore years of securities lending data and trend analysis with speed and precision.
“The securities finance industry moves faster than ever, and our users rely on our data-driven research to navigate market shifts,” said Nancy Allen, Managing Director and Head of Data & Analytics at EquiLend. “Our new AI assistant reflects the evolving ways clients consume content and provides an intuitive interface to explore the trends, risks and revenue drivers that matter most.”
Through a chat-based interface, the assistant helps users surface relevant securities finance trends, risk indicators, and revenue drivers in real time. Users can ask questions such as, “Which stocks drove the most securities lending revenue in June 2025?”, “What is a short squeeze?”, or “How are global fixed income lending trends evolving?”
“This launch marks a significant advancement in how users access and engage with securities finance data,” said Rich Grossi, Chief Executive Officer at EquiLend. “By combining faster delivery with deeper insights and a more intuitive experience, we’re empowering users to make smarter, faster decisions with greater confidence, while expanding on our broader commitment to drive innovation across the securities finance market.”
The AI assistant is available at no additional cost for all DataLend and Bloomberg users of the Orbisa app. Bloomberg Terminal users can subscribe to EquiLend Orbisa’s exclusive short selling and financing data by entering APPS ORBISA <GO> on the Bloomberg terminal or clicking here.
