What Is A Stock Loan?

A stock loan is similar to other loans. Your stock is your security for the loan.

Typically, the maximum you can borrow is between 40-60 percent of the stock’s market value, but this amount varies across financial institutions. The financial institution keeps your stock during your loan period.

If you default on your loan, the financial institution will take possession of your stock just like they would with any other personal property you use to secure a loan.

As with any other loan, you will pay interest on it. These payments are often quarterly.
