Chile Stock Loans against Bolsa de Santiago shares

A Chilean stock loan lets a founder, family group or controlling shareholder raise cash against a position listed on the Bolsa de Santiago without selling it, without surrendering voting control, and while remaining the beneficial owner until the facility is repaid. The Chilean peso floats freely, so a USD or EUR drawdown is priced through the exchange rate rather than a peg — and for the IPSA names that also trade as ADRs in New York, that reference gives a lender a clean second read on value.

What shapes a Chilean facility is the disclosure regime and the depth of the name. Under the Securities Market Law (Ley No. 18.045), acquisitions or disposals that cross 10% of a listed company’s shares — and any dealing by a controller or director — are reportable to the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (CMF), so the pledge is sequenced around that notification. Liquidity is the sharper constraint: Chile’s market is anchored by deep AFP pension funds that buy and hold, which supports the IPSA large-caps but thins the free float on smaller names. Shares settle T+2, which governs when the pledge is perfected and the loan drawn.
