Securities-based lending is a non-purpose 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, but are not limited to: (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. Interest accrues daily and is payable monthly. Fluctuations in interest rates could also increase the cost of borrowing. 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. Pledged securities may be sold without notice, and the account holder may not be entitled to choose which securities are liquidated or to receive an extension of time.
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.
