Advance Rate. The percentage of the value of collateral that a lender uses to determine the amount of a loan. For example, if one pledges a collateral worth $10,000, and the advance rate is 90%, the lender will only extend $9000 in credit. This may protect the lender from risks, such as depreciation on the collateral.

FORT RILEY, Kan. â As a boy, Michael Conner Humphreys made a splash on the silver screen as Young Forrest Gump.. As an adult, he somewhat mirrored the life of his movie character: He joined the Army and fought in an unpopular war. Humphreys' enlistment ends June 4 and Hollywood is already calling. He's landed a role in an independent film, playing, of course, a soldier. It's a route similar to that of Tom Hanks, who won the Oscar for playing adult Forrest Gump.
