Investing and building wealth with financial assets
How Investment lending works
It works in a similar way to borrowing money to purchase a home or investment property. You borrow money to invest in a portfolio of listed securities and/or managed funds. The borrowed funds are then secured against the portfolio of financial assets.
Why use an Investment loan
By borrowing to invest in financial assets, you’ll be able to access a range of opportunities from around the world and possibly grow your investment into a profitable portfolio or an additional income stream.
You may also be able to reduce you taxable income depending on your circumstances. Interest paid on an investment loan is generally tax deductable when the loan is used to invest in managed funds or shares.
