Lending against secured are subject to market risk

The benefits of a Lending against secured are obvious. Investors continue to profit from the potential returns on their invested capital and enjoy a favorable interest rate. This type of facility is also highly flexible and adjustable for meeting individual needs in terms of the amount and term. At the same time, investors still maintain control over their securities. As long as the facility is covered, the portfolio can be modified at any time despite the fact that the assets have been pledged.

Nevertheless, the collateral used for a Lending against secured is subject to market risk. If the portfolio loses value or individual investments are rated as riskier than before due to certain events, that will affect the facility-to-value ratio. If that ratio is exceeded, the borrower will have to provide additional collateral or reduce their credit utilization. However, if that is not possible, the bank will be allowed to sell/liquidate the pledged securities in an emergency.

Although the Lending against secured assets facility can represent a cheaper and more convenient way to raise money, it is nevertheless a riskier method of borrowing and professional advice should be sought before committing to such a strategy. The value of the investments used as collateral can rise and fall. Where the value falls substantially, you could potentially owe the lender more than the collateral value of the investments.
