The assets you manage are significant. That’s why you need a team who understands the nature of your business and can handle the size and importance of your needs. Simply put, we can. Our robust and experienced team manages the reserves of central banks and commercial banks. Through tailored strategies we help provide asset preservation, recommend and employ cash management strategies, and provide access to securities-based lending* with LIBOR rates**
* A securities based line of credit may not be suitable for all clients. The proceeds from a Securities based Line of Credit cannot be used to purchase or carry margin securities. Borrowing on securities based lending products and using securities as collateral may involve a high degree of risk. Market conditions can magnify any potential for loss. If the market turns against the client, he or she may be required to deposit additional securities and/or cash in the account(s) or pay down the loan. The securities in the pledged account(s) may be sold to meet the collateral call, and the firm can sell the client’s securities without contacting them. The interest rates charged are determined by the market value of pledged assets and Capital Access.
** The base rate is based on the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) published on the prior business day in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal. If the index is not ascertainable from the Money Rates column, firm management may designate a substitute rate. Current rates can be viewed online at raymondjames.com/lendingrates.htm or can be obtained from your financial advisor.
