How it works

The upfront payment will be based on the notional value and the investment strategy. Once this upfront payment is made, no further payment is required. An investor can then follow the performance of the S&P/ASX 200 Index untill the investment's maturity date. 

If an investor's maturity value is greater than their upfront amount, the investment will make a gain and the investor can choose to receive the value of their investment as either;
  • Units in SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Fund; or
  • Cash (following the sale of the units - brokerage applies)
Example: investment into Strategy 1
Notional value
$25,000
Upfront amount $3,750 (15% of the notional value)

Why invest in Vantage+
  • Market performance - an investor can receive financial gain from positive performance of the S&P/ASX 200 Index
  • Leverage exposure - exposure to the S&P/ASX 200 Index at the fraction of the price of a direct share investment
  • No on-going payments or margin calls - once you have paid the Upfront Amount, there are no on-going payments or margin calls required.
  • Physical settlement - you can accept physical delivery of units in the SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Fund at maturity.

Fee Disclosure
There are no entry fees or trailing commissions. 2020 DIRECTINVEST will receive a 1% marketing fee from Commonwealth Bank.

*The minimum upfront amount is based on a minimum indicative upfront amount of 15% of the notional value of the investment.

1The exposure is leveraged because the Notional Value, which is the actual portfolio size to which you have exposure, is substiantially larger than the Upfront Amount. This means that for the same one-off payment, you will have more exposure to the Underlying Portfolio with an investment CBA Vantage+ than with a direct investment in the Underlying Portfolio.
