Portfolio Margin (PM) accounts calculate margin requirements on a portfolio basis. Portfolio Margin (PM) accounts should bear in mind that the margin requirement for individual positions or product groups will not sum up to the entire portfolio's margin requirement due to the offset allowed between products which are considered highly correlated.
You can review a stock's margin requirement or how options are configured together for margin purposes in your Portfolio Margin account in your daily Margin Report.
Use the button above or follow the below procedure to see the end-of-day snapshot margin requirements at 16:15 EST in your Margin Report:
- Log into Client Portal.
- Click the Performance & Reports menu followed by Other Reports under Reports**.**
- Select Margin, edit the date, and click RUN.
- Expand the Portfolio Margin Details section and then click on each "+" in all the sections.
For example, click on the "+" next to "USIDX" if the account holds US Index equity products. You will see column headings for "Margin" and "Extreme", and the higher value in either column is the margin used for that day for the products on that line.
The Margin Report is generated as a daily account snapshot around 16:15 EST and will not be an accurate reflection of the real time margin requirements for the following day during trading hours.
