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. Typically these loans don’t allow for a very high loan to value and usually carry full recourse terms.
• They could go to their brokerage for very restrictive margin loans which require strong credit worthiness, are limited by size or loan to value, also carry full recourse provisions and are subject to margin maintenance and 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 can now deliver a wide variety of lending solutions to many of the most common problems associated with accessing stock equity & liquidity.

, an Authorized HedgeLender Agent brings investors the very best array of products and services in the stock loan industry today.

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.

If you could

• keep the stock(s) in your name
• skip the credit check requirement completely
• use only your stock for collateral, and
• hedge in the event of a market decline

wouldn’t you rather use a stock loan for liquidity than any other vehicle that would affect your credit?
