  Securities-Backed Loan Eligibility Criteria  
  A competitive program for most securities owners
 


Our programs offer liberal eligibility standards unparalleled for lending facilities of this type. As an individual investor, this means your stocks or other securities are likely to be eligible for a high-LTV, low rates/fees, quick-closing loan. If you are a financial or investment advisor, it also means that your clients are likely to obtain the competitive financing they seek.

Your/your client's portfolio will be reviewed carefully, whether consisting of single or mixed securities. A term sheet with loan quote will follow. Once the term sheet has been signed and faxed back, the loan quote will be fine-tuned until it is acceptable to the borrower.

Clients will need to own securities with a current market value of no less than $150,000 at inception, which should be reflected in the account statement that they will provide at the outset. Securities with no current, active market and/or no trading history are not eligible. Medium-Term Notes, Standby Letters of Credit, and/or privately held securities are the only other types of securities that are not eligible for this loan facility.

The loan-to-value (LTV) the program offers is in most cases far superior to any that can be obtained on a walk-in basis at any major U.S. brokerage/banking operations private wealth desk.
