Gearing up to build on wealth

Fairbairn Private Bank can offer a variety of bespoke lending solutions for clients and finance can be secured against a range of assets. Although around 70% of our lending is property related, we can also lend against a client's portfolios and investments for a range of purposes.

Gearing Portfolio leverage is usually suitable for clients or families with a broad range of assets. While property is seemingly the obvious security for borrowers to offer, taking a holistic approach to leverage can lead to efficiencies when compared to a narrower approach. Benefits could be available to clients with a plan to keep offshore assets separate from those held onshore, especially when offshore income must be used to service interest payments. Lending facilities are subject to sufficiently diversified investment assets being held with Fairbairn Private Bank, with pre-agreed loan-to-value ratios applicable to the bank's own discretionary strategies.

The benefits of utilising our bespoke lending solutions include:

  • Speed in arranging loans against portfolios already held with the bank
  • Attractive pricing where lending facilities are less than 50% of the portfolio value
  • There are no ancillary costs such as legal fees
  • Flexible options include interest-only, repayment on regular basis or repayment on bullet basis.

There are always risks involved in gearing against investment portfolios. For example, a large or sudden drop in the value of investments held in the client's portfolio can bring the loan-to-value ratio to a level above the agreed limit or lead to a shortfall upon maturity of the loan meaning the client may then need to inject funds from another source to repay the loan.

Please note that all our lending facilities are subject to credit sanctions.
