The Cash Advantage Program



The Cash Advantage Program is a special program that is available to our eligible investment clients that are currently taking advantage of The AssetMark Platform. AssetMark is an Asset and Wealth Management Firm that we have a special relationship with, and we routinely utilize AssetMark as we work to help our clients access the financial markets and invest for the future.

To learn more about AssetMark, please refer to our Wealth Accumulation Page.

The Cash Advantage Program provides our eligible investment clients with a Securities-Backed Line Of Credit, which is commonly referred to as an "SBLOC." An SBLOC is a highly innovative lending solution for individuals, couples, families, and business owners that have a need for liquidity. It allows you to tap into the value of your investments while your portfolio and investment strategies remain intact.


The Cash Advantage Program provides an interest-only revolving line of credit backed by non-qualified securities held within your investment portfolio. The term non-qualified refers to investment accounts that are not retirement accounts. That means that investments held within an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or any other type of retirement account are not eligible for the program.

It is vitally important to have an emergency fund. An emergency fund is actually one of the components that comprises the
Risk Management level of planning, which of course establishes the foundation of any sound financial plan. A line of
credit is essentially a bucket of money that can serve as your emergency fund. As Tom Anderson reminds us,
"You need to proactively set up lines of credit in good times and access them in bad times."

    SBLOC principal balances have no set principal payment deadline and can be paid down at the client’s discretion with only a minimum monthly interest payment required.

  • Liquidity & Taxes:

  • The Advance Rates:
    The Advance Rates determine the size of the Line of Credit. The Advance Rates vary based on the types of investments that are held within the Investment Portfolio. Advance Rates are based on criteria such as, but not limited to: Asset Class, Price, Trading Volume, Concentration Limits, and Bond Rating. Changes in the composition of the Investment Portfolio can result in changes to the size of the Credit Line.

  • The Interest Rate:
    Interest Rates are based on the size of the Line of Credit, not the balance of the Investment Portfolio, and the rate floats based on the 1 Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Rates for your Line of Credit will be determined and adjusted weekly based on the 1 Month Term SOFR Index.

    * The transition from 1 Month LIBOR to 1 Month SOFR took place in November
        of 2021.

Special Notes

  • An SBLOC cannot be used for the purchase of additional securities or to pay off a margin loan that was used to purchase securities. It is not a Margin Account.

  • It is always recommended that you consult a tax professional regarding potential tax implications involving your investment portfolio.

  • Securities-based lending has special risks and may not be suitable for everyone.*
