Why Arin

Portfolio Efficiency

Options-based strategies designed to improve capital efficiency and integrate borrowing decisions within the broader portfolio context.

Structured Liquidity

Market-based structures designed to provide full transparency, fungibility, and competitive pricing across portfolio-backed decisions.

Pricing reflects listed options market conditions, not a lender’s negotiated terms. Clients can observe and verify the implied financing rate at execution

Implementation Discipline

Defined processes and systems optimized for execution, monitoring, and ongoing management of derivatives strategies.

Evaluate Borrowing Efficiency

Compare how different borrowing approaches may affect financing costs under current market conditions. This educational tool illustrates how SPX box spread borrowing compares with other common portfolio lending approaches using consistent assumptions. Results are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent a recommendation or financing offer.

Important Assumptions: Illustrative estimates only. Financing costs, borrowing capacity, collateral treatment, and available terms vary by broker, custodian, account type, and market conditions. Box spread borrowing rates generally move with prevailing SOFR market conditions. Nothing herein constitutes an offer, recommendation, or individualized investment advice.

Considering a portfolio liquidity strategy?

Arin Risk Advisors created BoxRefi, an educational resource designed to help RIAs and fiduciaries review SPX box spread borrowing considerations, collateral implications, and implementation context.
