Margin Loans Secured against shares?

Is it possible to secure a loan for a deposit against shares? What is this called. What kind of professional would assist in this process. Is this something that mortgage brokers do?

Would this count as a special type of Margin loan. From what I can tell MLs are usually used to purchase shares.

I'm curious as to if you can effectively get a loan for the equity within a shareportfolio. As an alternative to selling shares to make a deposit.

 

Margin loan. Stock broker or banker. Perhaps a financial planner.

They might not be happy with the purpose, but margin loans are usually drawn as a line of credit, so it’d be simple to use it for a deposit.

The home loan provider might also have issues with a borrowed deposit. Many preclude it entirely.
