Leverage may amplify gains in a rising market.
By borrowing to invest, investors may be able to generate more income.
Flexibility for the investor to choose the transaction size - start investing with a smaller deposit than usually needed for property.
Potential to claim ongoing interest expenses or pay your interest up front, and the potential to reduce income liabilities through franking credits.
If a portfolio's value falls so that the amount of equity an investor holds also falls below our required levels, we may ask for extra security or funds to be deposited. If an investor fails to do this, we may sell their assets to correct the position.
We regularly review our lending ratios and may decrease them, even for securities an investor already owns. When that happens, it can sometimes trigger a margin call.
If an investor's securities get suspended from trading we may ask them to deposit additional funds or securities.
If an investor has a variable interest rate on their loan, it may increase. To manage this risk, investors should ensure they gear conservatively and have enough capital to deal with a rate rise. Investors can manage this risk by offsetting any distributions or income received from securities against the balance of the loan.
While leverage may amplify gains, it also amplifies any losses in a falling market.

Instalment gearing
A fee may be incurred for instalment gearing under certain circumstances (for example, if a client terminates the arrangement within the first 12 months).
Economic costs
Early repayments of a fixed rate loan (including a conversion to a variable rate loan) may be subject to payment of economic costs.
Default interest
Default interest may be charged on any loan amount that exceeds the approved facility limit. Default interest is charged at NAB Equity Lending's published variable rate for loans of less than $250,000 plus a margin of 2.0%(p.a.). Therefore, if the variable rate for loans less than $250,000 changes, so will the default interest rate.
