Borrow Rate

Trading Term

The rate used to calculate the borrow fee required for the privilege of borrowing shares. Shares that are hard-to-borrow will have a higher borrow rate. Shares that are easy-to-borrow will have a lower rate, no rate, and sometimes even a rebate paid to the borrower as an incentive to borrow.
