After clients advance on their lines of credit, the simple and easy-to-use stoplight system provides financial professionals with relevant information to make well-informed decisions.

  • Green indicates clients have drawn equal to or less than 50 percent of their total capacity.
  • Yellow indicates clients have drawn 51–80 percent of their total capacity. They should be cautious—depending on portfolio allocation.
  • Red indicates clients have drawn more than 80 percent of capacity and should be encouraged to reduce their LTV percentage.
