St George Margin Lending
0.40% off the advertised standard headline rate |
Margin lending involves borrowing to invest (gearing) and can be used to set up a new investment portfolio, increase an existing portfolio or to free up existing capital. Margin lending increases financial leverage by providing investors with an investment loan which can be used to buy managed funds and shares or other eligible securities. By utilising a gearing strategy, an investor is often able to use the increased funds to better diversify their portfolio, and not rely too heavily on the performance of any one asset.
Margin lending enables you to invest more money, and thus has the potential to improve your investment returns, but like any strategy it does have risks. Investors need to be aware that whilst gearing can magnify your returns, it can also magnify your losses. You should adopt a disciplined approach by investing in a diversified portfolio of quality assets and then selecting a suitable time frame to ride out inevitable market volatility. If you do not want a formal investment loan but would like to increase your financial leverage, one of the geared funds available may be more appropriate for you.
