Margin Lending
|
- If you want to increase your investment potential but don't have cash at hand, a margin loan could provide the opportunity. It can help you multiply your personal capital by letting you borrow against the value of your existing portfolio.
|
- By borrowing to invest (gearing), you’ll have more money working for you and your potential return will increase. While borrowing increases the potential for gains.
|
- when investments perform well, it can also amplify the potential loss if investment returns are poor.
|
- E*TRADE provides a choice of respected margin lenders and the power to apply for a margin loan online. Also, you enjoy the same brokerage fees and benefits as other E*TRADE investors.
