(1)  'Lombard lending' or 'Investment-backed lending' allows you to unlock liquidity from your portfolio to take advantage of new investment opportunities or meet other spending commitments without disrupting your long-term investment strategy. Lombard lending is only likely to be suitable for clients who are experienced investors and understand the associated risks. A Lombard loan is backed by liquid assets from an investment portfolio, which is known as ‘collateral’. The borrower’s capital is at risk with such a loan and if the assets held as collateral lose value because of market volatility or exchange rate risk, the borrower must provide additional collateral or accept the possibility of a sale of their assets to reduce the amount of the loan. We recommend you take independent tax advice on such loans. It’s important to appreciate the specific risks associated with investment leverage before making any investment decisions.
