1. Secured lending

An amount deducted from the current market value of an asset used as collateral, to calculate the maximum amount of a loan secured against that asset.


Example 1

Market value of the asset = £100,000.

Haircut = 2%.

The maximum amount of the related secured loan would be:

= £100,000 LESS 2%

= £98,000
