A Message from Spreadwise

Borrow Against Your Portfolio - Smarter

Most investors use margin or portfolio lines of credit and end up paying 6%-12% interest with no tax benefit. Spreadwise lets you access the same liquidity at lower rates (under 4%) and treat the cost as capital losses, not interest expense.

Spreadwise works through a fully collateralized SPX box spread options strategy, giving you fixed-rate, fixed-term financing without selling your investments or making monthly interest payments.

The result: lower effective borrowing costs, more flexibility, and real tax advantages, all while keeping your portfolio exactly where it is.

If you're a high-net-worth investor or manage concentrated stock positions, Spreadwise can help you unlock cash without the usual drag.

Spreadwise: Smarter liquidity for sophisticated investors.
