Brokerage Statement(Investment statement)
In short
A periodic report from your investment firm detailing your assets, transactions, and account balances. Lenders use these to verify your personal liquidity and the source of your capital contribution.
What it means in a deal
Like bank statements, you'll submit brokerage statements (3-6 months) to show proof of funds for your equity injection. Lenders look for sufficient balances and consistent activity, ensuring the funds are seasoned and not from newly acquired debt or other unapproved sources.
