Definition 16.3 Markets I: The Ecosystem and Exchange-Traded Markets · Capítulo 16 — Stock Loan and Short Selling in Practice

A security is general collateral when supply so exceeds demand that it lends at a minimal fee, a few tenths of a percent a year. It is special (or hard to borrow) when the fee is materially higher; a special’s rebate rate is often negative: the borrower receives no interest on its cash collateral and pays on top.

The chapter’s illustrative fee curve: flat while supply is ample, convex once three quarters of it is on loan. Real curves differ by stock and by day; the shape, a long flat region and a steep end, is the robust part.
