In the US, repurchase agreements are short-term loan opportunities for investors. The opportunities help investors generate the capital they need for new projects. When reviewing the opportunities, the investors have more flexibility according to which agreements they use. A local lender explains how repurchase agreements and Federal Reserve Repo works. What is the Term Repurchase Agreement? A term repurchase agreement involves the purchase of securities at a lower rate from one party. At the date specified in the loan contract, the other party must sell the securities back at a higher rate similarly to generating interest on a more traditional loan. The lender provides a fixed rate and won't increase it over the term of the loan. What Are Open Repurchase Agreements? The ventures also involve the sale of government securities to a private party at a lower price. As agreed upon in the loan contract, the buyer must sell the securities at a higher amount in the future. How
