Securities lending and repos are key instruments on the German financial markets. They support trading on the spot markets and make transactions on the futures markets possible in the first place. In 2008, however, they were considered the cause and accelerator of the financial crisis and some were banned. Wrongly so, as it turned out in hindsight. Rather, it is advisable to examine these instruments and use them to advantage depending on the strategy. This thesis is intended to present different forms and transactions involving securities lending and repos. Their applicability is examined on German financial markets. The explanations show how selected strategies with securities lending and repos can be used to achieve excess returns that are above the risk-free interest rate for the corresponding maturities. The explanations are derived with suitable formulas, an application in practice should then be possible. The work concludes with further thoughts on future research topics.
