securities-based lending financial

"new Securities-Based Lending (SBL) solution to provide enhanced liquidity"

A loan that uses an investor’s owned stocks, bonds, or other securities as collateral so they can borrow cash without selling those holdings. It matters because it lets investors access funds quickly—like taking a mortgage against a house—while keeping market exposure, but it also creates risk: if the pledged securities fall in value the lender can demand more cash or sell the holdings, potentially forcing losses or a sale at a bad time.

registered broker-dealer regulatory

"a registered broker-dealer and a registered investment adviser"

A registered broker-dealer is a firm licensed by regulators to legally buy and sell stocks, bonds and other securities for clients or on its own account; think of it as a regulated marketplace intermediary or licensed shop for investments. It matters to investors because registration brings required oversight, record-keeping and customer protections that reduce fraud risk, provide access to public markets and ensure trades follow rules for fairness and transparency.

registered investment adviser regulatory

"a registered broker-dealer and a registered investment adviser"

A registered investment adviser (RIA) is a firm or individual legally registered with regulators to give personalized investment advice and manage clients' money, with a duty to put clients’ interests ahead of their own. Think of an RIA as a licensed financial guide who must disclose fees, conflicts and how they are paid; that transparency and legal duty matter to investors because it reduces the risk of hidden costs or biased recommendations.

The enhanced offering gives clients access to capital without disrupting their investment strategy

PITTSBURGH, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PNC Wealth Management today unveiled a new Securities-Based Lending (SBL) solution to provide enhanced liquidity and borrowing options for customers of PNC's Premier Client℠ program. For clients with more than $200,000 of assets at PNC Wealth Management, the SBL can be a quick and efficient way for them to access liquidity while remaining invested in the markets. The minimum line of credit that can be established is $100,000.

"Whether for a home renovation, critical emergency, luxury purchase, debt consolidation or an unexpected tax obligation, our Securities-Based Lending solution can serve as a crucial line of credit for clients without disrupting their financial plans," said Rich Guerrini, president and CEO of PNC Wealth Management.

SBL provides a number of benefits to PNC Wealth Management clients, including:

• Flexibility: The solution is a flexible way of borrowing money as unexpected needs arise.
• Ease of implementation: Establishing a line of credit is quick, easy and cost-free. Clients will know immediately how much credit they qualify for.
• Continued market gains: SBL provides access to liquidity without having to sell securities or disrupt investment portfolios, meaning clients won't miss out on market gains.

Additionally, the securities-based line of credit can be established and set in place at any time, providing clients with an available, ready line of credit for when a need arises.

The SBL solution is part of a larger suite of solutions that PNC Bank and PNC Wealth Management have rolled out recently to better serve the needs of its clients. Other programs and products include PNC's proprietary loyalty program, TotalRewards, digital account opening services for brokerage accounts, and its flagship client experience for those with at least $100,000 in investable assets, PNC Premier Client.

"A growing number of clients are building meaningful wealth while also making important, time-sensitive life decisions, and they need a bank that not only keeps pace, but proactively guides them to where they want to be on their financial journey," said Alex Overstrom, head of PNC Retail Banking. "A securities-based line of credit reflects the kind of practical, relationship-driven innovation we are bringing to PNC Premier Clients – giving them another way to access capital when needed, while ensuring today's priorities don't derail tomorrow's goals."

The PNC Premier Client experience serves individuals with approximately $100,000 to $3 million in investible assets. High- and ultra-high-net worth clients continue to be served by PNC Private Bank, which also provides a similar but distinct securities-based line of credit product.
