Like any investment, there are some risks.
Borrowing to invest can increase your potential returns; it can also increase potential losses.
The value of securities may not go up, or, if they go up, the increase in value may not be sufficient to cover the costs of the investment.
You need to ensure that you can fund your obligations under your loan including any interest, fees and charges. If you can’t, the securities will be sold to satisfy these obligations.
You should also consider the taxation consequences and seek independent professional tax advice.

Where the Code applies, it is a legally-binding agreement between us and our customers. Read the Banking Code of Practice.
