Add-on features
Exchange Options Plus
Exchange Options Plus (EOP) is a feature that enables you to add options strategies using Exchange Traded Options (ETOs) with your margin loan. Depending on your circumstances, ETOs can form part of your overall investment strategy to create wealth and protect your share portfolio.
With EOP you may:
- protect against a fall in share price by purchasing a put option
- earn additional income on shares by selling a call option
- diversify your portfolio by borrowing up to 95% of the Strike Price of a put option.
Short Plus
Short Plus (SP) is a feature that enables you to implement a short selling strategy using your margin loan. Depending on your circumstances, short selling can form part of your overall investment strategy to create and protect wealth in a falling market.
With SP you may:
- borrow shares you believe will fall in value, to sell
- hedge your investments to offset potential losses without the use of derivatives
- pursue a long/short/pairs trading strategy to potentially profit on both sides of the trade.
Instalment Plus
Instalment Plus (IP) is a feature that enables you to combine a regular savings and investment plan with your margin loan to progressively build an investment portfolio. To get started, all you need is an initial investment of $1,000, a minimum loan of $2,000 plus minimum monthly contributions of $250.
With IP you may:
- buy through the ups and downs of the market
- be able to buy at a lower average price if the overall price is trending upward
- progressively build and diversify and investment portfolio.
Rewards Plus
Rewards Plus is an additional feature that enables you to earn Qantas Points with your Margin Loan to keep your Qantas Frequent Flyer program membership active and help you enjoy the benefits of membership sooner. Best of all, Rewards Plus offers you uncapped points potential.
You earn Qantas Points based on your loan balance and the points are calculated daily. The time points are awarded will depend on your selected interest payment schedule. If you pay interest in-advance, points will be awarded before the end of the month in which you prepaid interest. If you pay interest in-arrears, points will usually be awarded during the month after you pay interest.
The following table shows you how many Qantas Points you could potentially earn using Rewards Plus. This is valid for accounts opened after 1 August 2016.
| Loan balance | Qantas points |
|---|---|
| Less than $150,000 | Up to 30,000 points per $100,000 p.a. pro-rata |
| $150,000 to $499,999 | Up to 40,000 points per $100,000 p.a. pro-rata |
| $500,000 to $999,999 | Up to 50,000 points per $100,000 p.a. pro-rata |
| $1,000,000 or greater | Up to 60,000 points per $100,000 p.a. pro-rata |
