Margin lending can facilitate higher returns in the share market through the use of gearing, enabling an investor to leverage their initial capital outlay. Margin lending occurs when a financial institution accepts shares as security against a loan used to purchase shares. Â Margin lenders have predetermined maximum percentages they will lend against shares traded on the ASX. For example, a margin lender might lend up to 70% on BHP shares. Â This means an investor is able to buy $100,000 worth of BHP shares after funding the share position with only $30,000 in capital. The investor is able to borrow $70,000 ($100,000 x 70%) from the margin lender by providing the BHP shares as security. The investor pays interest on the loan amount for the period the balance is outstanding. Interest payments are generally tax deductible. Â When the share price increases, the investor benefits from a $100,000 position increasing instead of a $30,000 position. However, should the share price fall, the investor experiences a loss on a $100,000 position instead of a $30,000 position. Â Margin lending allows investors to diversify their holdings and/or increase their exposures. Margin loans can be secured against existing share holdings as well as intended share purchases.
