This is an information service. By browsing on the website and/or using our search tools, you are asking RateCity to provide you with information about Margin Loans from multiple financial institutions. We will try to show you a range of products in response to your request for information. We are not a credit provider, and in giving you product information we are not making any suggestion or recommendation to you about a particular credit product. If you decide to apply for a Margin Loan, you will deal directly with a financial institution, and not with RateCity.

Margin Loan

A margin loan allows you to borrow money to invest in shares and managed funds, whilst using your cash or shares as security for the loan.

Margin loans allow you to invest in more shares than you could normally afford, which is known as gearing. This means that you can potentially achieve higher returns, but it also increases your risk of higher losses if the value of your portfolio drops. If your investment value falls below the amount that you have borrowed, you will experience negative equity, in which case you will need to repay more than what you have left in shares.
