Using a Pledged Asset Line® (PAL) for greater flexibility when borrowing
PAL is a non-purpose, securities-based line of credit that allows your clients to leverage the value of eligible assets in their investment portfolio as collateral for a secured loan. During this time of year, when many clients worry about the possibility of an unexpected tax bill, a PAL can offer increased borrowing flexibility with advance rates based on security type. When using a PAL, keep in mind that available credit will adjust based on the real-time value of eligible pledged brokerage assets.
A Pledged Asset Line can be beneficial to your clients for a variety of reasons.
- Cost: PALs incur no origination fee. No maintenance fee. No annual fees. No prepayment penalties. No early closure fee. No wire or check fees. In the case of late payments, clients may be assessed a $25 fee.
- Flexibility: PALs can be accessed multiple ways including wire transfers, checks and online transfers.
- Control: Clients can determine when they borrow, how much they borrow, and how they repay the debt. Note: The initial advance must be at least $70,000. Subsequent advances may be less once that requirement is met.
In addition to helping with tax liabilities, there are many other ways clients may be able to use a PAL.
- Student loan financing
- Residential construction loan
- Bridge financing
- Rental property loan
- Business start-up loan
- Large purchase
- Commercial real estate
- Business buy out
- Marine and aviation financing
- Fine art financing
- Livestock and land purchase
- Estate loan
