Stock Loans Against Mexico-Listed Equity
Institutional securities-backed lending against shares listed on Mexico’s principal equity exchanges — for controlling shareholders, founders, and family offices holding positions on the CNBV-regulated market.
Mexico equity markets.
The firm structures stock loans against shares listed on Mexico’s one principal cash equity venue. The instrument allows founders, family offices, controlling shareholders, and concentrated single-stock holders to release liquidity against their Mexico-listed position — without selling, and without disturbing voting control or the share register. Beneficial ownership remains with the borrower throughout. The full position is recovered on repayment.
Indicative terms are calibrated to the specific position. Loan-to-value is set against the underlying’s single-stock liquidity and free float. Tenor typically runs twelve to thirty-six months for institutional transactions. Recourse profiles span non-recourse, limited-recourse, and full-recourse — chosen against the borrower’s downside-protection objectives. Loans can be denominated in MXN or in cross-currency structures (USD, EUR, GBP, or another major currency) depending on the borrower’s redeployment requirements.

Disclosure and regulation
Mexico’s Ley del Mercado de Valores requires disclosure of interests at 10%, with further reporting at each additional 5% above that level, so a large holder’s reporting footprint builds in defined steps as a position grows. A pledge that leaves voting and economic control with the borrower generally does not cross the 10% trigger of itself; the review focuses on whether any lender right could shift control across that mark. Because the BMV is concentrated by sector and issuer count, eligibility analysis for a large position is unusually sensitive to single-name free float and the identity of the controlling group.
An illustrative example
A holder of MXN 800 million in an S&P/BMV IPC constituent, at an illustrative loan-to-value of 50% — within the disclosed 20–65% range — releases roughly MXN 400 million in cash while keeping the shares and their economic exposure. The loan can be denominated in MXN or, given the depth of US-dollar funding for Mexican holders, on a cross-currency basis into USD. These numbers are round and purely illustrative, chosen to show the shape of a pledge rather than to quote a rate or a term.
