When might borrowing make sense?
By Marie A. Moore
Saving and planning are the obvious
strategies for addressing significant
financial goals and large expenses.
Liquidating an investment account
can be part of that plan, but, doing
so may incur hidden costs, such as:
taxes on capital gains, the potential
loss of future growth or an imbalance
in your portfolio’s overall asset allocation. When the time comes, or when an
opportunity arises, an alternate financing strategy may be more practical.
A borrowing strategy can be an
important factor for maintaining wealth
and achieving goals—equal, possibly,
to the role played by investments.
Knowing your options is important.
In certain instances, if you have significant assets invested in securities, a
securities-based loan or line of credit is
worth a serious look.
Securities-based lending allows you
to take advantage of the underlying
value in your securities portfolio without
disrupting your investment strategy, as
long as the required level of collateral is
maintained. Although this sounds like
margin lending, it is actually in a category called nonpurpose loans. Funds
may be used for many purposes, except
to purchase, carry or trade eligible securities or to repay margin debt used to purchase, carry or trade eligible securities.
Securities-based lending can be a
convenient alternative to costly and
restrictive financing platforms. You
may also be surprised by its simple
application process and potentially
competitive rates. Common scenarios for establishing securities-based
lending in advance include: (1) preparation for a unique opportunity or
large expense; (2) payment of tax obligations to avoid penalties or additional
interest; (3) real-estate objectives, such
as an investment in a commercial
property, a home purchase or home
improvements; (4) business objectives,
including the management of working
capital and inventory, the purchase of
equipment, the expansion or even the
purchase of a controlling interest; and
(5) luxury purchases (boats, planes, etc.).
Borrowing can be an important part
of your holistic wealth strategy, but
there are risks associated with using
your assets as collateral, including possible margin calls on short notice. Sufficient collateral must be maintained,
and you may need to deposit additional
eligible securities on short notice.
It is important to speak with a financial advisor to learn more about the risks
of this strategy and to find out whether
securities-based lending may be a suitable solution for you. For details, please
see the important disclosures below.
We can work with you by employing
an approach that provides access to a
private banker and underwriters, who
will determine which liquidity strategies
may be appropriate for your goals.
Borrowing against securities may not be suitable for everyone. You should be aware that securities-based loans involve a high degree of risk and that market
conditions can magnify any potential for loss. Most importantly, you need to understand that: (1) Sufficient collateral must be maintained to support your
loan(s) and to take future advances; (2) You may have to deposit additional cash or eligible securities on short notice; (3) Some or all of your securities may be
sold without prior notice in order to maintain account equity at required maintenance levels. You will not be entitled to choose the securities that will be sold.
These actions may interrupt your long-term investment strategy and may result in adverse tax consequences or in additional fees being assessed; (4) Morgan
Stanley Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (collectively referred to as “Morgan Stanley”)
reserves the right not to fund any advance request due to insufficient collateral or for any other reason except for any portion of a securities-based loan that
is identified as a committed facility; (5) Morgan Stanley reserves the right to increase your collateral maintenance requirements at any time without notice;
and (6) Morgan Stanley reserves the right to call securities-based loans at any time and for any reason.With the exception of a margin loan, the proceeds from
securities based loan products may not be used to purchase, trade, or carry margin stock (or securities, with respect to Express CreditLine); repay margin debt
that was used to purchase, trade or carry margin stock (or securities, with respect to Express CreditLine); and cannot be deposited into a Morgan Stanley Smith
Barney LLC or other brokerage account. To be eligible for a securities based loan, a client must have a brokerage account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
LLC that contains eligible securities, which shall serve as collateral for the securities based loan. Private Bankers are employees of Morgan Stanley Private
Bank, National Association. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is a registered Broker/Dealer, Member SIPC, and not a bank. Where appropriate, Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney LLC has entered into arrangements with banks and other third parties to assist in offering certain banking related products and services.
