What are some of the risks of using a PNC Investment Line of Credit?
- Securities markets can be volatile. If the value of eligible collateral decreases as a result of a market downturn, your credit line may be lowered, you may have to deposit more eligible collateral to your PNC Investments account, or PNC Bank may sell some of your securities in order to meet a maintenance call and maintain the amount of collateral required to support your credit line.
- If you default on the line of credit, PNC Bank can liquidate assets without contacting you and this can result in a tax liability in the form of capital gains taxes or losses on the assets sold.
- Because the Investment Line of Credit is a variable-rate loan, an increase in the Prime Rate will increase the cost of your loan. Other loans may have more favorable rates.
- Additional details of potential risks are contained in the PNC Investment Line of Credit Client Acknowledgment and other loan documents, which you will be required to review, acknowledge and sign during the application process.
