Problem
Traditional securities-backed lending involves cumbersome paperwork, pledged accounts, and interest rates that can be 1-3% higher than institutional borrowing rates. This complexity and cost can limit access to liquidity for financial advisors and their clients, hindering their ability to capitalize on investment opportunities or manage short-term financial needs.
Solution
SyntheticFi provides a custodian-agnostic securities-backed lending platform that leverages box spreads to offer lower interest rates, typically 1% to 3% below traditional lenders, with rates starting as low as SOFR + 0%. The platform streamlines the borrowing process by eliminating pledged account paperwork and enabling clients to access liquidity without moving their assets. Clients can borrow up to 50% of their non-retirement investments, with a minimum loan size of $10,000, and use the funds for various purposes, including real estate purchases, debt consolidation, and lifestyle expenses. The interest on SyntheticFi loans is always tax-deductible, regardless of how the funds are used.
