Loan Against Securities

A Loan Against Securities (LAS) allows you to pledge your existing financial assets, such as mutual funds and shares, as collateral to secure a loan. This type of loan is typically offered by banks, financial institutions, and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). It’s a convenient option if you need liquidity but do not want to sell your investments.

Key Aspects of Loan Against Mutual Funds and Shares:

1. Loan Against Mutual Funds:

  • Eligible Mutual Funds: Most mutual funds, particularly equity and debt funds, are eligible for securing a loan. However, the maximum loan amount and terms may vary based on the type of mutual fund and the lending institution’s policies.

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: The loan amount is typically a percentage of the current market value of the mutual fund units. For mutual funds, LTV is usually 50-70%. For example, if your mutual fund is worth ₹10,00,000, you can borrow up to ₹5,00,000 to ₹7,00,000.

  • Benefits: Since mutual funds are relatively stable compared to individual stocks, the risk for the lender is lower, and the terms are often favourable.

  • Repayment: The loan can be repaid either through EMIs or as a lump sum at the end of the term, depending on the agreement with the lender.

2. Loan Against Shares (Stocks):

  • Eligible Shares: Publicly traded shares on major stock exchanges (NSE, BSE) are typically eligible for collateral. Some lenders may have specific guidelines about which stocks they accept (such as blue-chip stocks or stocks with high liquidity).

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: LTV for shares can vary based on the volatility and liquidity of the stock. Typically, LTV ranges from 50-60%, but it could be higher or lower depending on the lender’s risk appetite.

    • Example: If your stocks are worth ₹5,00,000, you can get a loan of ₹2,50,000 to ₹3,00,000.

  • Repayment: Similar to mutual funds, the repayment could be in EMIs or in a lump sum. The loan tenure can range from 6 months to 3 years.

Benefits of Loans Against Mutual Funds and Shares:

  • Quick Access to Funds: Since the loan is secured by your assets, the approval process is faster compared to unsecured loans.

  • Lower Interest Rates: As the loan is secured by your investments, interest rates tend to be lower than unsecured loans (usually around 8-15% annually).

  • No Need to Liquidate Investments: You can continue to hold and benefit from the appreciation or dividends of your investments (such as mutual fund units or shares) while accessing funds.

  • Flexibility: You can use the loan for any purpose—personal needs, emergencies, business expansion, etc.

  • Preserve Portfolio Growth: By pledging your investments instead of selling them, you allow your mutual funds and shares to continue growing (subject to market conditions).
