A Cost Effective and Flexible Way to Borrow
A Priority Credit Line provides easy access to funds whenever you need them and may be more cost effective than margin loans and other lending options. Consider these additional benefits:
• Variable interest rate close to the Prime lending rate.
• Avoid incurring capital gains tax when securities are liquidated.
• Draw on your line of credit via ACH, branch-issued check, or wire transfer.
• No minimum monthly interest or principal payments (may be subject to maintenance call if pledged securities go down in value).
• No set expiration term.
Talk to your B. Riley Wealth financial professional about establishing a line of credit today so that it's ready when an opportunity or need arises.
Risks of a Securities-based Line of Credit
• Securities pledged as collateral could decline in value, resulting in a maintenance call for partial debt repayment or additional capital deposit.
• If you must sell securities to cover such a maintenance call, you could realize a loss on the securities sold.
• A tax obligation could result from the sale of pledged securities if the sales price is higher than the cost basis.
• Proceeds from a securities-based line of credit may not be used to purchase securities or pay off existing margin debt.
• You should read and understand the Lending Agreement and Account Terms and Conditions, which will be provided to you, before establishing a non-purpose loan.
