Securities-Based Lending

This type of lending allows the borrower to use their investments (stocks, mutual funds, bonds or other securities) to obtain funds for personal or business use. Using investments as collateral it is possible to borrow money at low interest rate financing for up to 10 years.

Benefits
- Fixed interest rates between 2.5% and 4.5%
- Interest Only quarterly loan payments
- Loan terms of 3, 5, 7, or 10 years
- No closing costs, broker or transaction fees
- No credit or income verification
- Funds may be used for any purpose including personal or business use
- Non-recourse loan. The only collateral are the pledged securities - not real estate or other personal property.
- Loans available for up to 80% of the securities value
- The borrower keeps all dividends and upside market appreciation on the securities

How It Works
- Loan-to-value ratio and the interest rate are driven by what securities are pledged. The more liquid and actively traded securities the higher the loan-to-value ratio and lower the interest rate
- No principal amortization or loan prepayment
- At the end of the loan term the loan may be renewed, refinanced, or paid off
- At pay off, the exact number of shares initially pledged is returned to the borrower
- Default trigger set at 80% of the loan amount ­ not 80% of the securities value like typical margin loans. For example: securities value of $1MM, loan of $800k, default trigger at $640k (80% of the loan amount). If the securities value fell below $640k the borrower could walk away from the obligation of repayment of the loan and securities and keep the original loan proceeds ($800k) or contribute cash or securities to bring value back to $640k.

Criteria
- The stock must be free-trading without any restrictions.
- Retirement funds (401k's, pensions, etc), CD's, do not qualify for this program.
