Lending

---

Liquidity needs can arise unexpectedly or as part of your financial planning. With a securities-backed line of credit, you can access capital without selling your investments. Use your marketable securities, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, as collateral. We ensure this fits seamlessly into your overall wealth plan, balancing short-term needs with long-term goals.

Understanding Securities-Based Lending

A securities-based line of credit offers a flexible and cost-effective way to access liquidity. Whether funding a new purchase, renovating your home, or seizing a timely investment opportunity, this line of credit allows you to stay invested and maintain your portfolio intact.

Common Uses Include:

• Real estate purchases
• Tax expenses
• Specialty assets like yachts, art, or stadium financing

Benefits of a Securities-Based Line of Credit:

• Stay Invested: Maintain your investment plan and asset allocation without disrupting your long-term strategy.
• Financial Flexibility: Quickly access liquidity for various needs, from large financial obligations to seizing opportunities.
• Cost-Effective: No setup fees, and interest charges apply only to the funds you use, often at lower rates than other financing options.
• Potential Tax Efficiency: Can be structured in a tax-efficient manner, helping you grow and preserve your wealth more effectively.

As with any investment decision, understanding the risks of borrowing is essential. Market fluctuations can affect the value of your pledged securities, potentially leading to a margin call. We’re here to help you make informed decisions for your needs, both now and in the future.

How It Works

As a client, you can borrow up to the Lending Value of the securities in your account. The Lending Value is a percentage of each security’s market value, indicating how much we are willing to lend against the asset. These values can change without notice.

Types of Lending Value:

• Initial Lending Value (ILV): The maximum amount that can be borrowed against your portfolio, determining your draw limit and collateral release or substitution.
• Maintenance Lending Value (MLV): Determines the equity required in your portfolio without causing an immediate margin call due to market depreciation. Typically higher than ILV, MLVs are set at our discretion within regulatory limits.
