Are your clients looking to gear into international shares?
Leveraged has additional capability to lend against international shares with our recently expanded Acceptable Investments List for International Shares.
Investors are faced with limitations when choosing to invest only in the domestic market - the Australian share market is heavily weighted toward the financial and mining sectors, accounting for 60% of the ASX All Ordinaries index*.
Your clients may be interested to add international household brands to their portfolio. Big names like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google and many more can form part of their investment and gearing strategy using the Leveraged margin loan.
In fact, in a recent investor study conducted by the ASX, adding diversification was one of the most sought after reasons for investors to use a financial adviser**. International shares can provide investors with geographic and asset class diversification, meaning a slowdown in one market may have less of an impact on a portfolio. Given that economies grow at different rates and at different times, spreading investments across multiple markets can help add exposure to faster growing markets.
We are pleased to offer lending to support international investments using the following platforms:
- Macquarie Wrap
- HUB24
- Linear SMA
- JB Were Invia
- Federation Alliance
- Netwealth
To find out more or to discuss how we can work with you and your clients to settle international shares on the Leveraged margin loan, please contact your Leveraged Relationship Manager or call us on 1300 307 807.
