Frequently asked questions

Your questions about Investec Private Bank Portfolio Lending answered.

Already have an Investment Portfolio managed by Investec?

Talk to your Investec wealth manager who can help you complete an application.
If I have a portfolio and a loan with another lender can I move my loan and portfolio to Investec?

Yes. We can refinance your loan with the existing lender and help you transfer your portfolio over to Investec Wealth & Investment management. Your existing lender will need to provide us with a letter of undertaking (LOU) confirming that, following repayment of your loan, they will transfer all investments within your portfolio to Investec Wealth & Investment. The Portfolio Lending team can provide a draft of the LOU upon request. Please note, this process may affect the time it may take to complete the application process.
I’m an existing client; do I need to complete the application form?

Yes. To apply for Portfolio Lending a completed application form is required. Occasionally additional information is required to complete the process (i.e. evidence of income) however we will ask your Investec wealth manager for this first.
What are the different ways I can pay the interest on the loan?

Preferably through direct debit. However, you can also service interest payments from your investment account. We will remind you and your wealth manager prior to the interest due date in the case that you are not paying interest through direct debit.
Can my Investec wealth manager continue to manage the portfolio in line with the existing investment policy?

Yes, as long as the management type and risk profile remain unchanged.
How does Investec monitor portfolio values?

The portfolio values are electronically monitored on a daily basis. You (or your wealth manager) do not need to provide us with any updates. Please note, if the loan is secured against an offshore bond, the offshore bond provider will need to give us approval to receive the daily value from Investec Wealth & Investment.
Who will be contacted if the loan is in margin call and/or close out?

We will contact you and your wealth manager simultaneously. In the case of an offshore bond, the offshore bond provider will also be notified.
