Macquarie Investment Lending (MIL) has launched a new website designed to provide ‘back-to-basics’ gearing information for inexperienced investors along with detailed product information, tools and resources for advisers.
The new portals also enable investors and advisers to access GearUp, MIL’s secure client service site, which provides live share prices (20 minutes delayed) as well as up-to-date portfolio information.
Together, the two sites will enable both advisers and investors to “obtain their most current loan and portfolio positions, as well as access MIL products and services”, according to MIL division director Peter van der Westhuyzen.
“When it comes to borrowing to invest, we believe both advisers and their clients need a service that keeps them informed,” he said.
