Variable vs Fixed Rates to fix or not to fix Is that the question? Currently in Australia Fixed and Variable rates are at historical lows, but what will they do next week, month, year or even over the next 10 years? It is difficult even for experts to make long-term interest rate predictions they often get it wrong. Your choice of loan is determined by your situation and your own financial priorities. Your choice needs to be made with your own financial goals in mind, and with consideration of your income, cash flow and need for security or flexibility. Fixed & Variable Rates simplified: Fixed Rate - Offers the security of knowing that your repayments won t change during the selected fixed term. This allows for more precise budgeting and planning of your personal finances - Provides protection from interest rate fluctuations - Is taken out for a set period - usually (1 to 10 years) with a set interest rate - When a fixed period ends you can choose to re-fix the rate again, or switch to a variable rate - Both principle and interest or interest only terms available Variable Rate - Fluctuates with the market - Offers more flexibility with options such as additional repayments, redraw and offset - Both principle and interest or interest only terms available - Terms available up to 30 years Split Loan - A combination of fixed and variable (the best of both worlds) - Allows you to take advantage of the security of fixed rates, whilst still enjoying the flexibility of a variable loan. We know that everyone is different. After conducting an assessment of your financial situation and future goals, we will use our understanding to help find the right loan for you. 3
