How wealthy investors use Lombard Lending to defer Capital Gains Tax: Borrowing against shares rather than selling them

Wealthy investors are using Lombard lending, a strategy that allows them to borrow against their shares instead of selling them, to defer capital gains tax. This method enables investors to raise cash while retaining ownership of their shares and delaying tax payments. Loans typically cover 30% to 60% of the share value and carry interest rates ranging from 9% to 12%.
