Popular Terms
Purchasing an asset by making a down payment (called the margin) and financing the balance amount through a loan by using the asset as the collateral (such as in a mortgage loan). In securities trading, only a down payment is required because the value of the securities themselves (which remain in the possession of the broker or seller) fully collateralizes the unpaid amount.
