Margin lending

A BT Margin Loan can create greater opportunity to build and diversify your investment portfolio – you’re not limited to only investing your own capital, and you can also potentially escalate your investment strategy and increase the amount you have invested.


Borrowing against an existing portfolio or asset can also offer attractive tax concessions, as well as improve investment returns. Just as gearing can magnify your gains, it can also magnify losses.
