Why use this service?
A margin lending facility with Leveraged Equities will allow you to drawdown funds in New Zealand dollars and Australian dollars. This will allow you to participate in both New Zealand and Australian investment opportunities. In addition, you will be able to draw down available funds on either a fixed or floating rate basis.
You can elect to fix the interest rate for advances over $100,000. You can choose to fix the rate for different funding periods, for example three or six months.
Once you have decided what amount and funding period you choose for your fixed rate advance, we will advise you whether we are willing to make the advance, and the interest rate applicable. You must then confirm whether you accept that interest rate.
