Every dollar sitting idle is a missed opportunity. We put your idle cash, shares and crypto to work and actively manage them to aim higher than standard rates.
Returns aren’t guaranteed and investments can lose value. See program disclosures.

Four ways to earn
Idle assets, actively put to work.
Lending, options income, cash sweep and staking, actively managed to aim higher than standard rates. Choose the programs that fit and keep full ownership of what you hold.
Earnings estimator
See what your idle assets could add.
Enter what usually sits idle. The estimate uses the rate range shown for each program, so you see a range, not one number.
Estimate only, before fees and taxes. Rates change and income isn’t guaranteed. Program eligibility varies by asset and account.
How it works
From sitting still to earning, in three steps.
No new assets to buy and nothing to sell. Enrol what you already hold and see every dollar it earns.
01
See what’s idle
We show which shares, cash and coins in your account are eligible for each program, and what each could earn.
You see it before you enrol.
02
Choose your programs
Turn on lending, covered calls, cash sweep or staking one at a time. Each shows its rate, its risks and how to leave.
Opt in, never by default.
03
Collect the extra income
Earnings are credited to your cash balance and itemized in your statements, so you can reinvest them or use them for bills.
Stop any program whenever you like.
Put the extra income to use
Let your idle assets chip in on the bills.
Point the extra income at a goal: cover a recurring bill, build a cash cushion or save for what’s next. Watch each goal fill from money that used to sit still.
Targets are yours to set. Income can vary, and bills may still need to be funded from other sources.
Illustrative goals and financial values. Not a forecast or guarantee.

You bring the questions. We’ll help find the next step.

Trust begins with clarity
Extra income, with the trade-offs in plain sight.
Your financial life deserves a system that explains what it does — and what it doesn’t. Here’s the standard we’re designing toward.
Know what changes
Lent shares lose SIPC coverage while on loan and your voting rights pause; covered calls cap your gains if prices jump; staked crypto can be locked for a period.
Understand the protection
Swept cash may be eligible for FDIC insurance at program banks, up to limits. SIPC protects securities at a failed member brokerage, not market losses. Crypto isn’t covered by either.
Stay in control
Every program is opt-in, shows its current rate and fees, and can be switched off. Extra income is usually taxable; your statements itemize it for tax time.
Important: investment risk is always part of the picture.
Extra income doesn’t protect you from market losses; the assets you hold can still fall in value. Rates are variable and not guaranteed, and past program income doesn’t predict future income. Read each program’s disclosures before you enrol.
A little more clarity
Good questions. Clear answers.
How the extra income works, what it costs you and when it might not show up.
Four programs put assets you already hold to work: securities lending pays a fee when your shares are lent out; covered calls collect premiums by selling options against shares; a cash sweep moves uninvested cash to higher-yield accounts; staking earns rewards for helping secure some blockchains.
Is the extra income guaranteed?
No. Rates move with markets and demand, a program can earn little or nothing for a period, and fees and taxes reduce what you keep. The estimator shows ranges, not promises.
Do I give up my investments?
You keep ownership and market exposure. Lent shares can be recalled and sold, but voting rights pause and SIPC coverage doesn’t apply while they’re on loan. Covered calls can require you to sell at the strike price if the price rises past it.
Which program carries the most risk?
Covered calls and crypto staking generally carry more risk than a cash sweep. Covered calls cap your upside while leaving the downside, and staking can lock coins, lose rewards to network penalties and swing with crypto prices.
How are earnings paid and taxed?
Earnings are credited to your cash balance and listed on monthly statements. They’re generally taxable income; securities-lending payments may be taxed differently from dividends. Ask a tax professional about your situation.
Can I stop a program?
Yes. You can switch any program off. Lent shares are returned, open option positions run to expiry or can be closed, and staked crypto unlocks after the network’s waiting period.

ADVISOR NOTES & SESSION SUMMARY · SAMPLE
Make room for the unexpected.
We explored how a separate cash cushion could help cover recurring bills without relying on investment income arriving on a particular day.
What we discussed
• Planned monthly bills of $1,860 and the timing of incoming income.
• A sample $10,000 cushion target, with $7,200 already set aside.
• Why variable distributions are not a guaranteed source for essential expenses.
Your next steps
1. Confirm your essential bills and their due dates.
2. Compare the cushion target with your actual needs and income stability.
3. Bring your mortgage balance and rate to your next conversation.

WHY WE’RE BUILDING COMPOUND CREST
Make your bills pay themselves
We started Compound Crest with a simple belief: financial progress should feel less like keeping up, and more like finding your footing.
Too often, our financial lives live in separate places: investments over here, bills over there, and the big questions somewhere in between. We imagined Compound Crest as a bridge between them — a clearer way to turn long-term progress into everyday peace of mind.
