Why have a securities-backed loan ready to go?
Whether it’s renovating your home, making a tax payment1 or seizing a time-sensitive business opportunity, you may be able to access immediate liquidity through a securities-backed loan. As our client, when you use the borrowing power of your eligible securities, you may be able to receive the funds you need while you continue to pursue your long-term financial strategy.
By having a securities-backed loan in place, you may not need to sell assets (which may have tax implications) or secure a last-minute loan, so you’ll be better prepared for whatever comes your way.
A securities-backed loan may be used for a variety of needs, including real estate investments, bridge loans, personal expenses, business expansion, higher interest debt or loan consolidation and luxury purchases such as yachts or private jets.
To understand how a securities-backed loan may offer you the financial flexibility you need, connect with your Financial Advisor or find a UBS Financial Advisor.

About UBS Bank USA
Borrowing using securities as collateral involves special risks, is not suitable for everyone and may not be appropriate for your needs. All loans are subject to credit approval, margin requirements, and margin call and other risks; credit lines may be subject to breakage fees. For a full discussion of the risks associated with borrowing using securities as collateral, review the Loan Disclosure Statement included in your application package/account opening package. Credit approval of any loan application is subject to the creditworthiness of the applicant. UBS Bank USA will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, which may include, but is not limited to, an assessment of the applicant’s financial condition, payment history, credit scores, credit reports, and the adequacy of any collateral offered. Additional terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations may apply. UBS Financial Services Inc. (UBS FSI) and its Financial Advisors have a financial incentive to recommend the use of securities backed loans, rather than the sale of securities to meet cash needs because we receive compensation related to the loan as well as the investments used to secure the loan. UBS FSI and its Financial Advisors benefit if you draw down on your loan to meet liquidity needs rather than sell securities or other investments, and have a financial incentive to recommend products or manage an account in order to maximize the amount of the loan. UBS FSI and its Financial Advisors and employees offer banking and lending products to clients through our affiliates and third-party banks in our capacity as a broker-dealer and not as an investment adviser.
