A plain-English guide to borrowing against your stock instead of selling it.
If you have a large stock portfolio and need cash, selling shares is usually the worst option. Box-spread synthetic loans exist. Most people have never heard of them. This site explains what they are, how the math works, and when they make sense.
Start with the basics →What is this site?
- I explain box-spread synthetic loans in plain English.
- I am not a financial advisor. Nothing here is advice.
- If you want to actually do it, I refer you to firms that execute it.
- Those firms pay me a kickback, which I disclose on every page.
