The proportion of your portfolio which is funded by borrowed versus your own money. For example if you
have $30,000 and you borrow a further $70,000, your LVR is 70% ($70,000 – $100,000).
An increase in investment value results in a decrease in the LVR and a decrease in the investment value
results in an increase in the LVR.
