How much can you earn?
Stock lending can provide you with passive income throughout the loan period. The interest rate you receive will depend on which stocks are lent out and can change over time.
Stocks that are in high demand and are hard to borrow in the marketplace will naturally receive a higher fee when they are lent out.
Here, you can see examples of the interest rates our clients have been earning when lending out top in-demand stocks.
| Top in-demand stocks | Stock lending interest rate |
|---|---|
 Beyond Meat Inc. | 12.68% |
 Amundi Global Agg SRI UCITS DR EUR H ETF | 4.25% |
 Avantium | 20.18% |
| FastNed | 13.17% |
 Biocartis Group NV | 11.90% |

More about stock lending
There are several reasons third parties may borrow stocks. For instance, they may want to hedge their existing positions, to short markets in which they don't own any shares, or to borrow assets to meet a demanding delivery deadline.
No, you can’t choose to only make certain stocks/ETFs available for lending. When you activate stock lending, all eligible stocks/ETFs in your account become available for lending.
While your stocks are lent out, you do not retain rights to vote or attend shareholders meetings (as applicable).
If you are already a client, you can activate or deactivate stock lending in your Portfolio overview or click here.
You can learn more about stock lending on our help portal.
When you enable stock lending, you still assume the risk of the market value of any stocks/ETFs lent out. So, if the price of your lent-out stock gains or declines, that will be reflected in your account value, just as it would be if the stocks were not lent out.
If Saxo Bank were to enter into bankruptcy or become insolvent, the client also bears the economic risk that in the period from the bankruptcy to the distribution of collateral by the collateral agent, there is a possibility that the value of the open loan has increased to exceed the collateral provided. The collateral will always be at least 102% of the value of the open loans.
