Why smart investors borrow against assets instead of selling?
Learn The Smart Way to Preserve Wealth Creation
Investors often face a familiar dilemma — the need for immediate funds while being reluctant to liquidate their hard-earned investments. Redeeming mutual funds may provide short-term cash, but it comes at a significant cost: it disrupts the power of compounding and can derail long-term wealth creation.
Once units are sold, the interrupted growth cycle is difficult to rebuild. Assets that could have compounded over years are permanently reduced, making it harder to regain the original growth trajectory.
Yet, life’s financial demands — whether for business opportunities, medical emergencies, education, or personal needs — cannot always wait. Many investors instinctively believe redemption is their only option.
Savvy investors, however, adopt a more prudent approach. Instead of selling their holdings, they leverage Loan Against Securities (LAS) to borrow against their mutual fund investments. This facility provides immediate liquidity while allowing the portfolio to remain intact and continue benefiting from market growth.
For instance, an investor holding ₹10 lakh in mutual funds may be eligible to borrow ₹5–6 lakh against these securities. The investments stay invested, compounding uninterrupted, and once the loan is repaid, the portfolio resumes its original growth path.
This strategy enables investors to meet short-term liquidity needs without compromising long-term investment discipline.
