What is an investment loan?

An ideal option to boost the potential growth of your investments.

An investment loan allows you to increase your investment capacity, thus creating leverage that maximizes your potential returns on investment while allowing you to maintain your liquidity for other projects.

In addition to boosting investment profitability, this type of loan can be part of a tax-advantaged financial strategy since the loan interest can be tax deductible.

It could be the perfect solution for investors who have high risk tolerance who want to increase the value of a portfolio.

Helps diversify your investment portfolio
Can allow you to leverage interest expense deductibility
Offers increased investment capacity and may provide access to reduced fees through Prestige preferential pricing

Borrowing options

Depending on your needs, you have two options when taking out an investment loan.

Both of these borrowing options have competitive rates, so you can customize the loan based on your needs.

100% loan

Your entire investment is financed by the loan and no initial deposit is required on your part.

1:1 loan

With this option, you double the total amount of your investment.

For example, an initial deposit of $50,000 qualifies you for a $50,000 loan, allowing you to make a total investment of $100,000.
