What methods are possible to take a loan with low interest rates in Singapore and invest the money in the stock market?

Hello everyone,

I want to know what methods are possible to take a loan with low interest rates in Singapore and invest the money in the stock market. Currently, I have no debt and already invested in stocks. I want to do this to slightly fast-track my investment plan without too much risk.

Credit cards are too costly given avg APR ~25% so thats out of the scope.

Thank you.

Hi first last,

You may consider margin accounts where you can use your existing stocks as collateral in order to get a loan to invest.

The amount that is granted depends on the stocks that you pledge. Interest rates are typically low-mid single digit and hence lower than that of credit cards.

Margin is a double edged sword, but I think you know that already. Tread carefully.
