How much can I borrow against my stock?
It depends on a variety of factors and merits
related to the securities you wish to pledge.
Securities trading on the major exchanges can
realize an LTV as high as 80%. Pink sheets and
bulletin board securities will be lower due to
price and volume requirements. Contact AmeriFund
or request a quote online to determine the
appropriate LTV that your security demands.
Can I borrow against more then one company's
stock?
Yes. AmeriFund Capital Finance, LLC can assist
you with a quote on a basket of securities. A
basket of "like" securities will stabilize the
LTV, where as "unlike" securities will affect
the LTV. Contact our office for details.
What types of securities can be used?
AmeriFund Capital Finance, LLC accepts all of
the major exchanges (AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ), the
smaller exchanges (Pink Sheets and Bulletin
Boards), and can also arrange financing against
securities on many of the foreign exchanges as
well.
Is there a minimum or maximum loan amount?
Minimum loan amount financed is $100,000. There
is no maximum.
What is the eligibility criteria for a stock
loan?
This is determined on a case by case basis,
however the leading indicators when determining
the eligibility of a stock as collateral are
going to be exchange, volatility, share price,
trends, filings, short term trading volume and
long term trading volume. When providing a
quote, we will explain how these factors relate
to your securities presented as collateral.
How fast will my loan close?
That depends on a variety of factors, the most
important of which is how responsive you are to
completing the steps needed to obtain your loan.
Once all agreements are in place and shares have
been transferred, the loan will typically fund
in 24-72 hours.
Are there any hidden costs or fees?
There are no hidden fees associated with our
stock loans. Much like a mortgage loan however,
there are points charged as a fee for our
services, which will always be fully disclosed
from the outset. Most importantly, there are
never any up front fees or out-of-pocket costs
from AmeriFund Capital Finance, LLC.
Are there restrictions on the proceeds?
The loan proceeds are yours to use as you wish,
however they may not be used for the purchase of
marginable securities.
