An opportunity arises. Whether for a pied-à-terre in the city, a second home in the country, a vacation house at the beach—or other circumstances that require significant liquidity, such as tax planning, wealth transfers, or transformational charitable giving—why not leverage the power of your portfolio at your fingertips? Securities-based lending may afford the opportunity to free up available cash by using a portion of your eligible portfolio holdings as collateral.
In 2016, we released one of the first studies on religious-based fundraising foundations, The Advancement of Religious-Based Fundraising Foundations in the United States.
