An enquiry was received from a trust company based in Jersey. The trust company acted as trustee of a discretionary trust established for the benefit of an individual residing in the UK.
The beneficiary was weeks away from completing on the purchase of a new residential property when the sale of their existing residential property was delayed, leaving them with very little time to find the funds required to complete.
Upon consulting with the trust company, we identified two options; (a) secure short term finance on the property in the UK, or (b) secure short term finance on the investment portfolio within the trust in Jersey.
Given time constraints, it was decided to secure finance on the investment portfolio. We sourced a lender in Jersey meaning that the documentation was drafted under jersey law and the parties were represented by jersey lawyers, again speeding up the process.
Securities finance allows borrowers access to liquidity quickly, without the need for a subjective third party valuation, and without the risk of upsetting investment strategy or future gains.
