How to Unlock Cash Without Selling Your Investments | Securities-Backed Line of Credit Explained

Ever run into a big opportunity—like launching a business, buying a home, or making a strategic investment—only to find your funds are tied up in your portfolio?

In this video, Matt Aversa, Partner at Maller Wealth Advisors, shares how a securities-backed line of credit (SBLOC) can give you access to liquidity without disrupting your investment plan or creating an unexpected tax event.

✅ What an SBLOC is and how it works
✅ Real examples of when it makes sense
✅ Benefits and key risks to know
✅ Who this strategy is right for

An SBLOC can be a flexible short-term solution—but it’s important to understand the risks involved:

Market volatility may affect your line of credit. If the value of your pledged securities declines, you may be required to deposit additional assets or cash to maintain the loan.

Selling pledged securities can create tax consequences. If the lender liquidates investments to cover the loan, you may incur capital gains taxes.

Interest rates can fluctuate. Since most SBLOCs carry variable rates, an increase in rates could result in higher-than-expected interest payments.

When used strategically, an SBLOC can offer a smart way to stay invested while giving you access to the capital you need—on your terms. With the right guidance, it can be a powerful addition to your financial toolkit.
