Definition. An interest rate applied to a loan or margin extended by a broker. When an investor wishes to make a purchase that is in excess of the cash in hand, a brokerage firm will automatically provide access to additional capital. An interest rate will be applied to this extension of a loan, which compensates the brokerage firm for access to the capital.
The collateral for a margin account can be the cash deposited in the account or securities provided, and represents the funds available to the account holder for further share trading. On United States futures exchanges, margins were formerly called performance bonds.
