Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Bank for Loans Against Mutual Funds Swipe @investkraft
02/07 01 01 Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV) Ratio Banks usually lend a percentage of the value of your mutual fund, not the entire amount. This percentage is known as the “Loan-To-Value” ratio. The LTV ratio can differ among banks and types of funds. A higher LTV ratio means you can borrow more. A higher LTV ratio also raises the risk of a margin call. Swipe @investkraft
03/07 02 02 LAMF Interest Rates LAMF interest rates can be compared across different banks. Generally, LAMF interest rates are lower than personal loan interest rates. LAMF interest rates are higher than home loan interest rates. Swipe @investkraft
04/07 03 03 Eligible Mutual Funds Check the eligibility of your funds for LAMF at the specific bank where you intend to apply for the loan. Not all banks accept all types of mutual funds as collateral. It is important to ensure that your funds are eligible before proceeding with the application. Swipe @investkraft
05/07 04 04 Margin Calls and Maintenance In market downturns, mutual fund values may decrease, leading to margin calls from the bank. Margin calls require extra deposits or the selling of units to maintain the LTV ratio. It is important to know the bank’s margin call policy. Determine the amount of buffer you have before facing a margin call. Swipe @investkraft
