Lombard Loan

Certain lenders can structure loan facilities against liquid investments, such as equities and bonds.  This type of lending is known as a Lombard Loan, a form of securities-backed lending.

The roots of the term “Lombard” date back to the Middle Ages and refer to the type of banking offered by Italian merchants from the Lombardy region.

What Is A Lombard Loan​?

A Lombard loan is a lending facility offered by a bank secured against liquid assets. These could be listed equities or bonds, for example.

Lombard loans can be highly attractive lending solutions as they often attract highly competitive lending rates, are flexible in structure and prevent the need for the sale of investments to release cash.

To secure loans against shares, you should typically have a diversified share portfolio worth in excess of £250,000. Lenders like lending against a portfolio which are nicely spread out over numerous shares. 

However, there are certain lenders that can offer a single-stock loan position.
