Managing Risk

    You should carefully consider the risk factors associated with Westpac SFIs before making any decision to invest.
    These include:

  • While borrowing to invest more money in shares can increase your potential returns, it can also increase potential losses.
  • The gearing level may change materially as the price of the underlying security and the loan amount change throughout the term.
    • If the price of the underlying security falls, the price of the Westpac SFI will generally fall.
