Securities Loan Facility

If you need cash, but all your funds are tied up in investments that you would prefer to leave untouched, then a securities loan facility may be what you are looking for.

We offer credit at a highly competitive rate, using your Bank ten Cate & Cie investment portfolio as collateral.

A securities loan facility offers a variable amount of credit for an indefinite period. This highly flexible facility has a number of major advantages over traditional credit facilities and mortgage loans:

  • It is available immediately without a great deal of paperwork
  • The term of the credit is unlimited, provided that sufficient collateral is available
  • The credit can be drawn and repaid at any time
  • You only pay interest on the credit that you actually draw
  • Available at a competitive rate
  • No additional fees (e.g. policy fees, commission etc)

The credit limit is set by the bank on a daily basis, depending on the collateral value of the associated investment portfolio, and is reduced by any margin requirements. The credit provided under a securities loan facility is dependent on the marketability and spread of the underlying financial instruments.

The interest rate charged by Bank ten Cate & Cie is the official European Central Bank rate (minimum bid rate) plus a mark-up of 2.95%.

It is important to note that making use of a securities loan facility will raise the risk profile of your portfolio.
