Complimentary Fund

A complimentary fund is a loan made by more than one lender that is secured by the same stock or other security. All lenders have a lien on a given security until the loan is paid off. In complementary financing, two or more lenders make two or more loans to a single borrower and secure those loans by a certain security. The amount of the lien on the security is in proportion to the amount of the loan each lender makes.
