Shares to the Rescue: How a Loan against Security will help you in a financial emergency!

You are a smart investor, where you have, over the years, picked good stocks and mutual funds and built up a good portfolio for the long-term. You are investing for the future – for your children’s education, to buy a home or to retire comfortably. Whatever the reason, you are in no hurry to liquidate your investments.

But suddenly you have an emergency need for money. Your contingency fund is not enough to meet the immediate expenses. You consider liquidating some of your investments. Then someone suggests a solution: Loan Against Securities. And you heave a sigh of relief.

What is a Loan Against Securities?

  • It’s a loan where you borrow money by pledging your investments such as insurance, shares, mutual funds and life insurance policies as collateral.
  • It allows you to get emergency funds quickly without liquidating your long-term investments
  • One of the best features of HDFC Bank’s Loan Against Security is that you get the funds as an overdraft. This means you need to pay interest only on the funds that you draw and for the period that you use it. What’s more, the interest rates on our Loan Against Securities are extremely competitive.

How can I get a Loan Against Security?
