General information only, not financial, tax or legal advice. We arrange the lending; we do not recommend specific investments, and your financial adviser and registered tax agent should guide the asset and tax decisions. Debt recycling is a leveraged strategy that uses your home as security and can amplify losses. Any figures shown are illustrative, based on stated assumptions, and not a promise of any result. Consider your circumstances and seek advice from a licensed broker, financial adviser and registered tax agent.
