Benefits and risks of Investment Funds Multiplier
Benefits
| Repayment plan instead of a Margin Call | If the value of your investment portfolio falls, instead of a margin call, you reduce your gearing ratio to an acceptable level through a regular Periodic Repayment Plan. This gives you greater certainty about potential cash flow, allowing you to manage your investment through short-term market volatility. Check out our Investment Funds Multiplier case study to find out more about the Periodic Repayment Plan. |
|---|---|
| Maximise investment opportunity | Borrowing additional money to invest increases your exposure to an investment, enhancing your profits and potential dividends earned if the portfolio rises. |
| Diversification | A Margin Loan can enable you to diversify your investment portfolio. Borrowing to invest gives you access to more funds, allowing investment into a different range of asset classes, industries and companies. |
| Flexibility | Manage your investment activities with the help of a flexible facility, including:
|
| Potential tax deductibility | Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be entitled to claim an income tax deduction for some or all of your borrowing costs. |
Risks
| Changes in portfolio values and interest rates | It is possible the performance of your investments or changes in interest rates will result in you earning a lower return or incurring a larger loss than if you had not borrowed to invest. |
|---|---|
| Events resulting in your loan becoming due | Events, such as margin calls and events of default or termination, can result in some or all of your loan being due for payment in a short period, including immediately. |
