When it comes to making serious returns from investing, patience is the best quality to have. As most investors know, short term investments involve much more risk. Therefore, safer returns come from longer-term investments. So what happens when a situation or emergency occurs where you require a large amount of money fast? If your equity is tied up and illiquid, this can create a severe financial crunch. Thankfully, the advisors at Strategic Investments Corp. offers securities-based lending (SBL) as an option for our clients in this situation.
What is Securities-Based Lending?
Securities-based lending is essentially using your securities and financial holdings as collateral for a loan. Depending on the size of the loan, securities you hold of a similar value will be used in the case you are unable to repay. These loans can allow you to do virtually anything from making a purchase, covering a large expense, or truly any other use. There are several advantages to using SBL over traditional loans.
- No need to sell securities
- Avoids taxes on sold securities
- Investments continue to earn
- Faster loan approval
By using your securities as collateral, you can avoid selling your securities and therefore incurring a potentially significant tax. This method also allows your capital to continue to earn for you while you are still able to get the immediate cash you need. For those who have securities-based lending as an option, they can often get approval much easier than with traditional banks. Of course, the volatility of the markets can change the value of your collateral, so securities-based lending for short term loans is ideal.
No matter what type of unexpected expenses may pop up, having the ability to pay for them is critical. At the same time, your emergency fund shouldn’t prevent you from investing the way you’d like. For this reason, the advisors at Strategic Investments Corp. offer securities-based lending as an option which allows you to do both. Your investments remain intact, but you have access to the necessary cash flow.
