The program has many benefits.

Liquidity

Your portfolio will be used as collateral for your loan without you having to sell any of your positions.

Low rates and cost

Variable and fixed-rate loans are generally lower than traditional banking products, and there is no origination or underwriting fee.

Quick decisions

Your loan approval may come 24 hours after you submit the digital application.

Simplicity

Traditional loans require less documentation than traditional ones.

How the Collateral Lending Program operates?

You can choose a secured line of credit or a fixed-rate loan. A line of credit allows you the greatest flexibility, allowing you to draw the line whenever you need it. While a fixed-rate loan gives you the stability of a lump sum funding amount and regular payments, fixed-rate loans offer predictable monthly payments. These loans can’t be used to buy additional securities, trade or carry securities, nor to repay any debt incurred for the purchase, trade, or carries of securities.

 

Pricing and lines of credit

Credit lines may be available based on the amount of eligible and pledged securities. The amount a client borrows is usually between 50% and 70% of their portfolio of diversified investments.
