Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in The Money Show which aired on Friday 11 November 2022. They start the show by talking about a lotto win in China and the new company director registration requirements, the later of which is causing a hassle for many. It’s fair to say it’s been a poorly implemented initiative. This week’s topic for discussion however is: Gearing and investments – How does it work?
Key topics covered include:
- What is gearing?
- How do you secure a loan and what is a margin call?
- An example of how gearing and investments works
- What are the risks and rewards?
- Know your loan to value ratio
- What is positive and negative gearing?
- Buying good quality assets is important!
- Make sure you have strong cashflow
- Luke shares his insights into gearing including keeping a buffer
- And remember to plan for interest rate rises too – we’re probably not done with them yet!
