Securities Lending
Earn extra income from the securities you already own
What is Securities Lending?
We find reputable borrowers for your securities, and we deposit any revenue to your account once a month.
You still receive substitute dividends. You can sell your securities anytime on the same original conditions
While your securities are on loan, we hold collateral equivalent to 105% of the value of your loaned securities as guarantee
Securities Lending is a free service offering an additional way to generate revenue from your existing portfolio. Just let Swissquote lend your securities to institutions who are looking to borrow them, and receive your share of the generated revenue.
How much can you earn?
Securities lending is demand-driven: the chances to match with borrowers and potential earnings vary greatly depending on the borrower and the market demand for any given security.
The gross return rate for loaned securities ranges from 0.5% to over 4% for any given loan.
