What Is a Loan Against Shares?

A Loan Against Shares is a secured financing facility where eligible listed securities are pledged as collateral to obtain funding. While the shares remain pledged, the investor:

  • Retains ownership and economic interest
  • Continues to participate in market movements, dividends, and corporate actions
  • Gains access to liquidity for personal, business, or investment-related needs

LAS is particularly suited for investors who believe in the long-term value of their portfolios but require immediate capital without disrupting their investment plans.

How Loan Against Shares Works
  1. Portfolio Review & Eligibility Assessment
    Listed securities are evaluated based on liquidity, volatility, market capitalisation, trading history, and diversification.
  2. Pledge of Securities
    Approved shares are pledged as collateral under secure custody and monitoring arrangements.
  3. Loan Disbursement
    Funds are released efficiently, aligned with the approved Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio.
  4. Ongoing Margin Monitoring
    Dynamic risk monitoring and rebalancing mechanisms help manage market fluctuations.
  5. Repayment & Release of Collateral
    Upon repayment, pledged securities are released back to the client.

Key Advantages of Phoenix Investment Bank Ltd.’s LAS

Competitive Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratios
