Margin Call

Margin call is a demand for additional collateral or repayment when financing terms or collateral values require it.

Why this matters to income investors

A demand for additional collateral can drain liquidity and force sales before planned income is earned.

How to use margin call in your research

Read the financing or hedge terms and the amount of liquid collateral available. A market move can trigger a cash demand even before the underlying investment is sold.
