Enhanced Growth via Limited Recourse Loan

Overview
Maximise returns with a smaller capital outlay, using up to 100% limited recourse loans, with potential deductibility of interest costs.
Key Features:
  • Reference Assets: Single or basket of market-linked assets (i.e. stocks, commodities, bonds, ETFs or funds).
  • Worst Performer: ‘Worst-performer’ relates to the reference asset with the highest % fall in each basket of stocks.
  • Exposure: Small cash outlay for full investment exposure (high cash efficiency).
  • Risk: The Limited Recourse Loan ensures that investors aren’t able to lose more than their interest cost.

Enhanced Growth Note Example: S&P 500 Futures Index

This 5-year strategy provides leveraged exposure to US Large caps through the S&P 500 Futures Index (SPXFP). 

  • The strategy allows investors to borrow 100% of the investment exposure via a 100% limited recourse loan at an interest rate of 4.05% p.a.
  • For every AUD $100k of exposure, investors are required to pre-pay interest of 20.25% (i.e. 4.05% p.a over 5 years).
  • Interest incurred by the Investor in respect of their investment loan could potentially be a deductible expense.1
  • Enhanced growth strategies allow investors to deploy less capital for more investment exposure. Investor’s risk to capital is limited to the amount of capital invested.
  • The S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index tracks the performance of front-quarter ‘E-mini S&P 500’ which is one of the most traded assets in the world, and closely tracks1 the performance of the S&P 500.
