  • To keep your credit line open, your equity must be at least 50% (200% Collateral requirement) of the value of the marginable stocks in your portfolio.
  • Equity is the value of marginable stocks in your portfolio minus the outstanding loan balance.
  • In no event shall new or additional credit be extended in account in which equity is less than P 50,000
  • This means that if you have P1 million worth of stocks in your account, your loan balance should not exceed P500,000
  • Sometimes, the value of your equity falls especially when the market price of the collateral declines. In this case, if your equity falls below 50%, then you will receive a “Margin Call”.
