- ** While borrowing to invest has potential benefits (investing an initial lump sum creates greater potential for compound-growth compared to making smaller regular investment purchases), it also has potential risks and can magnify losses (market volatility may result in poor investment returns and the possibility of owing more on the loan than the investments are worth).
