Borrowing to invest has long been a popular strategy in Australia as the loan interest cost is generally tax deductible. Borrowing for shares, however, really fell out of favour after GFC as investors feared they could be wiped out in the event of a margin call.

There are, however, other ways to borrow to invest. In this podcast, nab Equity Lending’s Phil McCall shares:

• A product that allows you to borrow for shares, with no margin call ever
• How to borrow to invest inside super
• The benefits of gearing to super charge your portfolio, and
• All the risks you must consider.
