Securities-based lending is a non-purpose margin loan secured by eligible, marketable securities. It is non-purpose because the proceeds of the line of credit cannot be used to purchase or carry securities. Securities-based lending has special risks and is not suitable for all investors. The risk of securities-based lending include: (i) market fluctuations that may cause the value of pledged assets to decline, (ii) a decline in the value of the pledged securities that could result in selling the securities to maintain equity, and (iii) possible adverse tax consequences as a result of selling securities. Fluctuations in market interest rates could also affect the applicable index rate that applies to your line of credit causing the cost of the credit line to increase significantly. The interest rates charged on lines of credit backed by securities are determined in part by the line of credit amount as outlined in the loan documents. If market conditions change to the detriment of the account holder, he or she may be required to deposit additional securities and/or cash in the account or pay down the loan to avoid liquidation of securities. Securities in pledged collateral accounts may be sold to meet collateral calls; and the Bank may order the custodian to sell the account holder’s securities without contacting them in advance. An account holder may not be entitled to choose which securities or other assets in his or her account are liquidated or sold to meet a collateral call, and an account holder may not be entitled to an extension of time on a collateral call. All rates, terms and products are subject to change, availability, or discontinuation without prior notice. Other terms, restrictions, and fees may apply. All extensions of credit and collateral are subject to credit review and approval. Past performance and outlooks are not indicative, or a guarantee, of future results.
