Investment Loans

Borrow to invest · lower is better · sorted lowest rate first

Investment loans let you borrow capital to invest in securities. Two main types: dedicated investment loans (purpose-built, advisor-gated, tax-deductible interest) and margin accounts(instantly available via your broker, but callable on demand). Interest is potentially deductible under ITA s.20(1)(c) when funds are used to earn income — verify with a tax advisor.

Dedicated Investment Loans advisor-gated · tax-deductible interest

Purpose-built loans for investing in eligible segregated funds. Application through a licensed financial advisor only — lenders do not deal directly with consumers. Rates cluster at Prime + 0.75% (~5.20%) across all providers. Leverage tiers available: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1.

Margin Accounts via your broker · callable

Borrow against securities in your brokerage account. No application beyond account setup — but the loan is callable on demand and brokers can force liquidation at market lows. Cost dispersion is extreme: IBKR at ~3.74% vs Big 6 bank brokerages at 8.75% for identical leverage.

Other leverage sources:HELOCs (Prime + 0.50–1.00%) andmortgages (3.35%–5.40%) can also be used for investment leverage — often at rates competitive with dedicated investment loans, with the flexibility of non-purpose borrowing. Risk disclosure: borrowing to invest magnifies both gains and losses. Interest must be repaid even if the investment falls. See CIRO guidance before investing with borrowed money.
