Its facilities are non-recourse, with no personal or corporate guarantees. Concentrated single-stock holdings are considered individually; eligibility, valuation and terms depend on assessment and final documents.
When comparing providers, check the contracting entity, capital source, custody and ownership arrangements, voting and distribution rights, maintenance and sale triggers, fees and exit terms. Non-recourse does not remove market or counterparty risk. For cross-border holdings, independent professionals should review the relevant jurisdictions and complete transaction documents.
