Geared funds are an alternative to margin loans for investors who would like to increase geared investment exposure in their portfolio without the potential for margin calls. Internally geared managed funds are an attractive alternative to margin lending. Rather than borrowing to invest, the fund borrows on your behalf which means you don't have to increase your personal borrowing. There are a number of benefits:
- Lower interest costs since the fund usually borrows at highly competitive institutional rates.
- No margin calls as they are paid by the fund manager and not the individual investor
- No credit checks and no stamp duty
- No need to provide collateral or security
- No additional recourse to your assets outside the fund in the unlikely event the fund defaults on its lending facility
Please note that geared funds can magnify your gains in a rising market but can also magnify the losses of the fund in a falling share market. It is important that investors are aware of the risks and hold a diversified portfolio.
