Margin Lending is a type of loan that allows you to borrow money to invest, by using your existing shares, managed funds and/or cash as security. It is a type of gearing, which is borrowing money to invest.

Margin lending allows you to borrow against your existing investments like shares or funds. Your borrowing amount is determined by your financial position and the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR), which is the loan amount divided by your investment value. If your investment value drops and exceeds the maximum LVR, a ‘margin call’ happens. You must then reduce the loan, add more security, or sell part of your investment to lower the LVR. Remember, your investment’s value can be used to repay the loan. Watch your investments closely to act during a margin call.

 A benefit of margin lending is the opportunity it provides to increase your investment exposure. Essentially, borrowing allows you access to more funds, giving you the potential to make additional investments you may not have been able to make otherwise. This can magnify market exposures with the potential to increase returns or allow new purchases to diversify your existing portfolio. Margin lending can also have tax benefits. For example, you may be able to claim the interest on your loan as a tax deduction.

Margin lending introduces significant risks due to borrowing to invest. If your investments decline, you not only face losses but also need to repay the loan. While it can amplify gains, it equally amplifies losses, and positive returns must exceed borrowing costs that vary with interest rates.
