Hedge fund tax strategies drive surge in US margin lending

Hedgeweek reports that growing demand for tax-efficient long-short strategies from managers including AQR and Quantinno has contributed to a sharp rise in US margin lending, citing a Wall Street Journal report. Charles Schwab reported borrowing balances of $188bn in the third quarter, with margin loan balances nearly doubling year on year, including approximately $61bn linked to long-short tax-aware strategies. Assets managed through these strategies have surged to nearly $190bn from just over $1bn five years ago, per estimates from Brent Sullivan of Tax Alpha Insider.
