Smartshares is beginning a "securities lending program" with, I think, dubious consequences. A third party can "borrow" shares (e.g., Telecom), promising to reimburse Smarthares for all dividends etc. So why borrow? The only reason I can think of is for ammunition in a battle to control the company. Is it appropriate to contribute ammunition in a control battle?

Furthermore, after listing all the potential risks, the notice to unit holders states " The manager will be entitled to receive fees...>The amount of the fees received by the manager will be upto 50% of the net revenues payable to the relevant Fund in respect of the securities of that Fund lent" Wow ..Fund investors take the risk and the Managers takes 50% of tne net revenue !
