Leveraged has welcomed the award of a 5-star rating in CANSTAR’s 2017 Margin Loans Star Ratings for outstanding value.

Acting Head of Leveraged Chris Bristow put the rating down to the company's focus on meeting investor needs.

"This award underscores the effort our products team invested when researching to meet market demand in the direct investor segment," he said.

"The Direct Investment Loan was designed for investors who prefer to manage their own facility, but have some knowledge of the market, providing them with the essentials they need to help action their personal investment strategy.

"It provides great online capability and the choice of any online broker, features that have proven popular with younger, lower balance investors while cutting out the frills and other things investors may not necessarily need.

"Our highly competitive fixed and variable interest rates, with no set date to repay the loan, online access to view, 24/7 transactions and wide selection of acceptable investments all add up to make this an attractive option for investors with a longer term view of the markets who are looking to build or diversify their portfolio and gain exposure into a different range of asset classes, industries and companies,” Mr Bristow concluded.
