Stock Loans

Non-Recourse Free Trading and Restricted Stock Loans Benefits

Contemporary stock loan products offer you, as the borrower-investor some unique benefits. While not all stock loans are the same, most of the following are benefits our clients enjoy:

Completely Private Transactions:

The loan is not usually required to be disclosed to the SEC or other shareholders.

Immediate Liquidity

Most stock loan transactions are funded within 72 hours of final approval.

Limited Liability

In most cases, if the stock price falls, the loan is either fully or partially non-recourse. This means no need to repay the difference with no impact to personal credit.

No Personal Guarantees

The stock is used as collateral and nothing else.

No Credit Checks

Unlike consumer loans or bank, broker or margin loans, the stock value, volume and type of security is the primary focus of the loan.

No Margin Calls or Margin Maintenance

Most stock loans do not require margin account maintenance.

Higher Loan to Value – Low Interest Rates

Loan to values range between 30% to as high as 90% depending on the stock. Interest rates are calculated simple as low as 3.99% and are seldom greater than prime +3%.*

Hedge Against Loss

With most stock loans, in the event of a market decline, the client may chose to surrender their stock and simply walk away.

Use Of Funds

Funds may be used for any legally allowable purpose.

How Stock Loans Work for You

The stock loan industry has matured and now delivers a wide variety of lending solutions to many of the most common problems associated with accessing stock equity & liquidity. 

Contemporary products instill confidence by offering higher loan to values with limited-recourse alternatives while providing the owner with a hedged down side risk. Stock loans are an ideal way for the investor to be in and out of the market simultaneously, if you will.

In general, stock loans

• allow the borrower to keep the stock in their own name,
• do not require personal credit checks,
• require no additional collateral (other than the stock(s) pledged) and
• are an excellent way for the investor to hedge in the event of a market decline.

Stock Loans on Restricted Stocks

Revised 8/25/08

Restricted Stock Loans have become harder to get . . . things are changing in the financial world, and that means products that were here are now gone, or unrecognizable.  I'll do my best to accomodate any loan that you are looking for, but on the restricted stock, you have few options.

What kind of stocks do you own?

These answers determine the stock loans you may qualify for and the offers you'll receive. Free-trading securities (or six-month "seasoned" restricted stocks) with steady prices and strong trading volume for the past four weeks, and a larger ($750K+) stock portfolio with blue chip stocks will give you a full range of choices with as many as ten or more stock loan offers across all HedgeLoan categories.

But, if your stocks are thinly traded or have a relatively small portfolio, you may receive fewer offers.

~~~~~~Original Post follows ~

Until recently, shareholders of publicly traded companies had only two real options for accessing equity vested in their stock portfolio. Investors could use their stock(s) as collateral to obtain very limited bank or broker loans.

These loans didn’t typically allow for a very high loan to value and usually carried full recourse terms The owner/investor could also turn to their brokerage for very restrictive margin loans which required strong credit worthiness, were limited by size or loan to value, and also carried full recourse provisions and were subject to margin maintenance and Federal house calls.

Owners of restricted stocks are limited in options if they wish to sell or access equity using their interest in their company owned stock.

The stock loan industry has now matured and can deliver a wide variety of lending solutions to many of the most common problems associated with accessing stock equity & liquidity. 

Contemporary products provide borrower(s) with confidence by offering higher loan to values with limited-recourse alternatives while providing the owner with a hedged down side risk. Stock loans are an ideal way for the investor to be in and out of the market simultaneously.

In general, stock loans allow the borrower

• to keep the stock(s) in their own name,
• do not require personal credit checks,
• require no additional collateral (other than the stock(s) pledged) and
• are an excellent way for the investor to hedge in the event of a market decline.
