What Happens if I Cannot Meet a Margin Shortfall in Time?

If a margin shortfall is not resolved after the alert is sent, Samco’s system will step in automatically.

What the system does:

  • Your open positions may be squared off partially or fully to bring the margin back to the required level
  • If squaring off positions is not enough, the pledged collateral itself may be sold to recover the balance
  • Any remaining amount after recovery is adjusted in your account
