How come equity swap isn’t more popular?


Hi all

AFAIK, equity swap is a contract between an investor and a counterparty where they exchange cash flows based on assets they respectively own. It seems to be a good way to help diversification and even tax efficiency. How come equity swap more popular among retail investors?

Why bother swapping equity when they could just borrow to purchase the other party's equity instead?
