Hi Guys,
I was looking for some investment options for short term and found this website http://www.australiansecurecapital.com.au/
The interest seems to be very good. They have two kinds of products
ASCF #1 1st MORTGAGE FUND
Minimum Investment Term Investor Interest Rates
3 months 6.25% pa
6 months 6.50% pa
12 months 6.75% pa
24 months 7.19% pa
ASCF #2 1st & 2nd MORTGAGE FUND
Minimum Investment Term Investor Interest Rates
3 months 7.99% pa
6 months 8.29% pa
12 months 8.69% pa
24 months 9.09% pa
Anybody has any experience investing with them or any other similar companies for such a high interest rates.
This sounds a bit like Australian capital reserve, which went bust in about 2006. They offered significantly better interest rates, backed by mortgage securities. With higher returns are higher risks.
Do the comparison sums between this and bank interest rates and ask yourself if you are happy to take the risk for an extra few bucks.
Personally, I wouldn't. I was lucky enough to exit before the other mob went bust. I would have lost my house deposit, completely changing my life.
