Stock Loans Against Switzerland-Listed Equity
Institutional securities-backed lending against shares listed on Switzerland’s principal equity exchanges — for controlling shareholders, founders, and family offices holding positions on the FINMA-regulated market.
Switzerland equity markets.
The firm structures stock loans against shares listed on Switzerland’s one principal cash equity venue. The instrument allows founders, family offices, controlling shareholders, and concentrated single-stock holders to release liquidity against their Switzerland-listed position — without selling, and without disturbing voting control or the share register. Beneficial ownership remains with the borrower throughout. The full position is recovered on repayment.
Indicative terms are calibrated to the specific position. Loan-to-value is set against the underlying’s single-stock liquidity and free float. Tenor typically runs twelve to thirty-six months for institutional transactions. Recourse profiles span non-recourse, limited-recourse, and full-recourse — chosen against the borrower’s downside-protection objectives. Loans can be denominated in CHF or in cross-currency structures (USD, EUR, GBP, or another major currency) depending on the borrower’s redeployment requirements.
