About Us

At Leveraged Equities, we believe it pays to specialise. Our success depends on the success of our clients.

By focusing on one thing and doing it better than anyone else in the market, we can take pride in being Australia’s largest premium, independent margin lending service provider.

Leveraged Equities is one of Australia’s first and longest continuously operating margin lending firms. Founded in 1991 by stockbroker Ord Minnett, Leveraged Equities has built a foundation of private banking style account management service, combined with an innovative and responsive product offering, including margin loans and investment loans.

Since acquisition by Adelaide Bank in 2000, the company’s margin lending book has grown both organically and by acquisition from successfully adopting the wholesale model of its parent. On the merger of Adelaide Bank with Bendigo Bank in late 2007, the diversification of assets under management meant margin lending was a small part of a large retail bank with a sustainable business model.

Leveraged Equities continues to grow from strength to strength, demonstrating how to be a successful lender in all markets combining robust credit policies with flexible, customer focused products.
