Hello Investors,
At Dhan we love to build the products that we think will make a difference for you. Stock Renting or SLBM Mechanism to earn passive income by renting shares in your portfolio was one set big bet for us.
We would like to start with a big thank you for showing so much love and appreciation for Stock Renting via SLBM on Dhan. It is your support that motivates us to keep making features that are truly trader and investor oriented. Stock Renting was launched a few months in November, and within just 6 months we have seen an active participation of many investors on Dhan, which has been truly encouraging for us.
In the last 6 months, with your constant feedback, we introduced multiple new features to make Stock Renting easier for you. We went ahead and made brokerage fees on SLBM absolutely free - 0% for 12 months until December 2026, while many leaders in industry process SLBM requests in an offline way and charge as much at 20% of rental value as brokerage fees; at Dhan we introduced at just 4.99%.
We start posting daily, weekly and monthly market insights for SLBM on ScanX. And we brought in flexible expiries to give you more options to trade in, launched monthly Stock Rental Insights on MadeForTrade community to help you make better decisions, and introduced Make Offer orders for our investors and traders so that they do not miss out on any renting opportunity available in the markets.
Since launch, we have been closely observing the orders placed on the platform, and we noticed one common trend across our user base - the number of orders staying open for a much longer period was relatively high compared to the ones that got executed everyday. After looking into it, we found that the reason behind this was that there was no way to identify what the expected or executable yield percentage is for a particular stock before placing a renting order.
To solve this, we have now started providing the expected range of yield directly on the order form itself.
This helps you understand what the usual range of rent is for that particular stock for that period, letting you decide on the best possible yield and increasing your chances of getting your order executed successfully. These trends are based on the market execution trends of the stocks for rental yields based on the trends of recent past.
This expected Order Execution range on Order Window itself is available now on Dhan Web and will soon be available for you on Dhan App as well.
Hope hope this enhances your experience on SLBM on Dhan even further and you are able to get the best of your Renting Stocks experience.
Happy Renting with SLBM, only on Dhan!
