The actual lending of stocks/ETFs depends on market demand. No lending or revenues are guaranteed by activating the service.
Earn additional income
Opting in to the stock lending service will allow Saxo to borrow the stocks & ETFs in your portfolio and you will earn income from this loan.
Continue receiving dividends & distributions
Even when your stocks & ETFs are lent out you will continue receiving any dividends and distributions and will retain all economic benefit over your holdings.
Retain full control of your portfolio
You retain full control of your stock & ETF portfolio, you can sell your holdings at any point and we will automatically manage the process for you.
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 |
---|---|
41.80% | |
3.34% | |
16.00% | |
17.24% | |
4.00% |
The listed returns are annualised rates paid to clients during the month of July 2024. The rates can not be used as a reliable indicator for future returns.

More about Stock Lending
For example, Saxo will provide you with collateral worth at least 100% of the market value of the loaned stocks (which are marked to market every business day). Such collateral is segregated from Saxo’s own money/assets and is therefore excluded from the money and assets of Saxo available to Saxo’s creditors (in the unlikely event of Saxo’s insolvency).
You can choose to activate Stock Lending when you sign up for an account with Saxo. If you are already a client, you can activate or deactivate Stock Lending in your Portfolio overview.
