How can a super fund borrow to invest in shares and managed funds?

A super fund can invest in shares and managed funds by investing in a Quantum Portfolio Warrant. Quantum Portfolio Warrants are installment Warrants. A Quantum Portfolio Warrant contains a limited recourse loan to the SMSF to help finance the purchase of the investments.

Typically Warrants are investments issued by banks and other financial institutions over shares and securities and are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. Self Managed Super Funds have been investing in these products for a number of years. The Quantum Portfolio Warrant is not listed on any exchange. You can freely traded in and out of the underlying Shares or manage funds [subject to the managed funds liquidity].

Quantum Warrants invest in shares giving and managed funds providing investors all the potential benefits of a leveraged share and managed funds investment.
