Frequently asked questions
Are the terms of the Macquarie 100% Investment Loan the same for all underlying investments?
The loan structure is the same for all underlying investments - that is, Macquarie provides 100% finance and the borrower makes interest payments only. However, the interest payment options available, fees and minimum loan amounts may vary depending on the underlying investment. Therefore, it is important you refer to the investment specific term sheet for information relevant to your underlying investment.
Why does Macquarie ask for a Statement of Position (SOP) if the underlying investment is protected?
As the 100% Investment Loan is full recourse, we require that all applicants complete a SOP. Income verification is required for all loan applications over $150,000. Applicants who apply for loans in excess of $300,000 must also provide verification of assets.
Is the Interest Prepayment Loan available with the Macquarie 100% Investment Loan?
If you elect to fix and prepay the interest on your Macquarie 100% Investment Loan, you can apply for an Interest Prepayment Loan to fund up to 12 months interest prepayment on your loan.
What information will I receive during the term of my investment?
During the term of your investment, you will receive statements twice a year containing your loan balance, a summary of your portfolio and an itemised record of any transactions, including interest. You can also view your loan and portfolio information 24/7 on GearUp, our secure client service website.
What happens at the end of the loan term?
Your loan term will be the same as the term of your underlying investment.
What happens if I want to exit the investment early?
If you decide to exit your investment prior to the maturity date, you will have to contact the Account Management Team for an unwind quote. The unwind quote may include a number of exit fees payable to both Macquarie for the loan and the Investment Manager for your Underlying Investment. Please refer to page 10 of the
Macquarie 100% Investment Loan brochure or contact us for more information about exiting your investment early.
Risks
Key risks of the Macquarie 100% Investment Loan include:
-
Borrowing to invest - in order for you to break even at maturity, your units in the Underlying Investment acquired with a Macquarie 100% Investment Loan will need to have produced income and growth in excess of your interest payments and other costs (excluding taxation considerations and the time value of money).
-
Full Recourse Borrowing - you are obliged to make ongoing interest payments and pay the Macquarie 100% Investment Loan repayment at maturity and repay the Interest Prepayment Loan (if applicable), regardless of the performance, level of distributions or the return on any investment in units in the Underlying Investment.
-
Early Unwind or Repayment of your Macquarie 100% Investment Loan - your Macquarie 100% Investment Loan and Interest Prepayment Loan will become immediately repayable in certain circumstances.
-
Illiquid Underlying Investment - additional considerations apply if you take out a Macquarie 100% Investment Loan and Interest Payment Loan to invest in an Underlying Investment which is designed to be held until maturity or is illiquid.
-
The Macquarie 100% Investment Loan brochure sets out further information about risks. You should read the brochure (and any updates) before making an investment decision.
