SBL Disclosures

Borrowing securities does not necessarily mean short selling

Borrowed securities can be used not only in short selling, but also for hedging, arbitraging, returning securities loans, etc. Therefore, borrowed securities might not be sold immediately after the execution of an SBL transaction.

Note to the disclosed information:
  1. SBL Transaction Volume
    The amount of shares (units) borrowed by SBL borrowers via either SBL by TWSE or SBL by brokers/security finance firms during current business day.
  2. SBL Balance

  3. Short Sales Volume
    The amount of borrowed securities being sold by SBL borrowers during current business day.
  4. Short Sales Balance
