How does a SBL transaction work?
Working Example
Client borrowed 10,000 securities of ABC securities on 2 July. He bought back 10,000 of ABC securities on 4 July and returned them on 9 July. Assuming (a) borrowing fee is 6% p.a. and (b) average of closing prices between 2/7-9/7 is $5, total cost incurred for an SBL loan will be calculated as follows:
- Admin Fee = $20
- CDP Settlement Fee = $0.70 (buy & sell contracts)
- Borrowing Fee = [6% / 365days x 8 days loan x 10,000 securities x $5 (average of closing price between 2/7 - 9/7)] = $65.75
Note: Charges & fees are before GST.
