Frequently Asked Questions
Securities Lending
What is the lending rate I will receive for lending my securities?
The Lending rate varies from loan to loan and depends on factors such as supply and demand, stability and size of the loan. Therefore, the rate can only be confirmed at the time of loan. The lender will be entitled to the lower of either 50% of the lending fee generated (subject to change at Phillip Securities’ discretion) or the prevailing market rate for borrowing the particular securities.
Securities that are typically in high demand and generate the highest loan fees are the "hard-to-borrow" securities.
