Benefits

Increase your investment capacity

Leverage an existing portfolio or create a new investment portfolio to boost your investment capacity and diversify your assets.

Diversification

Access more funds to diversify your investments into different asset classes, industries and companies.

Liquidity

Additional liquidity without selling assets so you can take advantage of investment opportunities when they arise.

Flexibility

A number of ways to pay interest and operate your margin loan facility with your other investment accounts and services.

Tax effectiveness

You may be entitled to claim an income tax deduction for some or all of your borrowing costs depending on your individual circumstances.1

Investment choice

Borrow against a wide range of ASX listed securities and ETF's.

Risks

Changes in portfolio values and interest rates

If the net return on your investments is less than your borrowing costs, then you may earn a lower return or incur a larger loss than not borrowing to invest or not investing at all. A fall in the value of your investments may trigger a margin call. There may also be interest rate changes. For example, an increase in the variable interest rate will increase your borrowing costs.

Events triggering early repayment and loan repayment

Events such as Margin Calls, market disruptions, credit limit exceeds, default events or termination can result in some or all of your loan being due for payment in a short period and/or immediately. You are also required to repay the total loan amount when declared due regardless of any net sale proceeds.

Reliance on others and legislative changes

You are reliant on the operations, policies and procedures of the lender, nominee and sponsor, as well as any authorised person or agent you appoint for your loan account. Legislative changes may also impact your facility.
