Borrowing to rise

-

The margin lending industry may have contracted slightly in 2016 after a turbulent year in sharemarke­ts but Investment Trends has found that investors who already have a margin loan intend to borrow more to invest. “The investment opportunit­ies revealed by depressed markets is enticing a greater share of margin lending investors to consider borrowing more through their margin loan,” says Recep Peker, research director at Investment Trends. “They want to increase margin lending borrowings to achieve their outcomes while paying a lot of attention to managing risk.”

He says margin lending investors have become more savvy risk managers, balancing both their own risk profile and risks related to the market.
