Avanza enables extra return on endowment insurance through securities lending

During the autumn, Avanza's customers with endowment insurance will be able to generate extra return through securities lending. It is optional to use the service and naturally the allocation is "More to you and less to the bank".

Securities lending means that Avanza lends shares to Morgan Stanley. The offer only applies to endowment insurance and it is optional. It will take effect during the autumn, but customers are already now being informed.

Initially, the securities lending only applies to Swedish shares and have a limit of total loan volume of SEK 5 billion. The return differs from share to share, depending on demand. However, the estimation is that this will give customers with endowment insurance an extra total return of SEK 20-30 million during the first year of the program. The extra return will be paid out monthly to those customers who have held holdings in the loaned shares. With the customer promise "More to you and less to the bank", customers receive 60% of the return, while Avanza receives 40% as well as covers the costs.

“We see securities lending as a good additional service. For the customer, the service does not result in any additional costs but still provides the prospect for extra returns. It is completely optional to use the service and the shareholding is not affected. Customers can sell or lend the value of the insurance at any time and receive dividends just as usual”, says Rikard Josefson, CEO of Avanza.
