New gearing calculator for Alpha POWER Shares

New gearing calculator for Alpha POWER Shares

This updated calculator lets advisers create specific gearing-based projections for clients who invest in Alpha POWER Shares via the Macquarie 100% Investment Loan. The new calculator now accommodates the new Budget rules for protected borrowing.

Under this loan, Macquarie provides 100% of the funds for the investment and the Alpha POWER Shares portfolio is the only security required.

The loan for Alpha POWER Shares is a capital-protected loan that lets Australian resident retail investors own a blue-chip Australian share portfolio for zero capital outlay.

Among other things, the Macquarie Investment Loan and Interest-Prepayment calculator worksheets let advisers enter:

  • The investment amount
  • Their fees
  • The loan term and interest rate
  • The client’s marginal tax rate
  • Yield and franking
  • Income distribution and annual growth rates

As you can tell, we’re pretty excited about it  - the calculator is another part of our strategy to build useful tools for leading advisers.
