Borrowing to invest

Borrowing to invest, or gearing, is a strategy used to purchase shares, managed funds, or other investments. This can increase your investment capacity to help you grow your investment portfolio. A gearing strategy can be used for a variety of reasons, including wealth creation.

Our financial goals simulator* can provide you an estimate of the investment value of your portfolio, with and without gearing, based on the information you provide. Use our simulator today to compare returns with or without gearing.

It’s important to understand both the benefits and risks of adding a gearing strategy to your portfolio. We recommend speaking to your financial adviser for advice.
