Macquarie Stock Lending

Unlock the full value of your portfolio

Macquarie Stock Lending is a simple way to earn additional income from your share portfolio. It allows you to temporarily transfer your shares to Macquarie while retaining the key benefits of share ownership.

You'll receive additional income (currently 0.20% p.a. of the market value of any securities transferred to Macquarie) from Macquarie, and you'll still receive dividends and franking credits on the securities.

What are the potential benefits of Macquarie Stock Lending?

You'll receive additional income (currently 0.20% p.a. of the market value of any securities transferred to Macquarie) from Macquarie. This may enhance the return on your portfolio while it is being used as security for your Macquarie Margin Loan or Macquarie GEI plus.

You can continue to trade your shares and will receive all entitlements to future growth in their value, dividend income and franking credits. Should you want your shares back, Macquarie will return them to you within 3 business days.

Is Macquarie Stock Lending a suitable choice for you?

Macquarie Stock Lending may suit sophisticated investors who hold more than $500,000 of securities on capital account and are seeking additional income.

It may also suit investors who have a long-term investment horizon and are looking to diversify their source of income, without compromising any potential capital growth.

Macquarie Stock Lending won't suit you if you're a frequent trader who needs regular access to your portfolio.
