Margin Lending

A margin loan lets you borrow funds against your own investment to buy more financial products. It can magnify the gains to generate further wealth, but can also magnify the losses.

Borrowing to invest

Investors are always on the lookout for ways to boost their investment power in a tax effective way.  A margin loan from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank's margin lending specialist Leveraged, provides access to funds to gain additional exposure to investments, dividends, franking credits and the potential to accelerate investment returns.
