COLLATERAL ARRANGEMENTS

One of the most important aspects of any financing transaction is the collateral. NSFP provides a range of collateral options to address differing client settings and long-term planning objectives.

In addition to a percentage of the Lender Acceptable Cash Surrender Value of the financed life policy other possible forms of collateral:

Cash and cash equivalents (1) 
 • Certificates of Deposit
 • Time deposits

Savings accounts
 • Money markets

Marketable securities (1)
• Mutual funds
 • Individual equities
 • Fixed income securities
 • Exchange traded funds
 • Other registered investment products

Cash surrender value of acceptable life insurance policies (1) 

Asset Backed Standby Letter of Credit issued by acceptable financial institution (2)

Real estate (3)

(1) Control agreement, custody arrangement or assignment required

(2) Limited to Lender approved underwriting applicability, conditions and other requirements

(3) Certain restrictions and other conditions apply including but not limited to: location, independent appraisal, encumbrance, property type and purpose and use

Note: not all forms of collateral are available or acceptable for certain loan situations. Some assets may need to be deposited with a specific financial institution.

NSFP will assist with all aspects of evaluating and securing appropriate collateral.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS: All relevant sections of the loan application should be completed. When referencing schedules or other financial information the application must summarize that information. Any application that references other documentation (in lieu of completing the form) will be returned. Assets, liabilities and other financial data should equate when being listed and totaled. Discrepancies in financial information will delay processing. In the case of a business/commercial loan and multiple insured's, each insured must complete a loan application. Respective percentage ownership of assets, etc. should be indicated. Particular attention should be directed to personal versus corporate-owned assets. For example, when applying for a non-business loan (e.g. trust) real estate and other properties, held in a corporation, should not be included. Survivorship cases (two insured's) require two individually completed and executed loan applications. In the event of two guarantors each guarantor must complete and sign a distinct loan application (multiple signatures on a single loan application will not be accepted).
