What is Margin Trading Facility (MTF)? Explained in detail

Usually, discount brokers collect 100% margin for delivery trades. they don’t consider giving leverage for delivery transactions. but not at Samco, though we are into the discount broking space, we employ good leverage for delivery trades. Before talking about the product CashPlus let us first discuss about equity delivery leverage:

What is equity delivery leverage?

Equity delivery leverage is a type of margin trading that allows investors to buy shares with a portion of their own capital and borrow the rest from their broker. This can be a way to amplify your returns, but it also carries a greater risk of losses.

With equity delivery leverage, you are essentially buying shares on margin. This means that you are only required to put up a portion of the purchase price as a down payment, and the broker will lend you the rest. The amount of leverage you can get will vary depending on the broker and the stock you are buying.

For example, let’s say you want to buy 100 shares of a stock that is trading at Rs. 100 per share. If you have Rs. 10,000 in your trading account, you could buy the shares outright. However, if you use equity delivery leverage, you could only put up Rs. 2,000 as a down payment and borrow the remaining Rs. 8,000 from your broker.

In this example, you would be using 4:1 leverage. This means that you are using Rs. 4 of borrowed money for every Rs. 1 of your own money.

What is Margin Trading Facility?

Margin trading facility offered by Samco Securities that allows investors to buy shares in delivery with up to 4X leverage. This means that if you have Rs. 10,000 in your trading account, you can buy shares worth Rs. 40,000.

How does Margin Trading Facility work?

Margin Trading Facility works by using your existing cash balance as collateral for the borrowed funds. When you buy shares with MTF, a nominal charge of 0.05% per day is applied to the outstanding borrowed capital for each day the amount remains unpaid. This fee is calculated daily, ensuring you only pay for the exact period you utilize the borrowed capital, offering flexibility while you maintain your positions.

Why is Margin Trading Facility useful?

Margin Trading Facility can be a useful tool for investors who want to increase their buying power and take advantage of potential market opportunities. However, it is important to note that leverage can also magnify losses, so it is important to use MTF carefully.

Benefits of Margin Trading Facility

  1. Increased buying power: Margin trading allows you to buy more securities than you could with your own cash. This is because you are borrowing money from your broker to finance your purchases. For example, if you have a margin account with a margin requirement of 50%, you can buy Rs.10,000 worth of securities with only Rs.5,000 of your own money.
  2. Potential for greater profits: Margin trading can amplify your profits if the securities you buy increase in value. For example, if you buy Rs.10,000 worth of securities and they increase in value by 10%, you will make a profit of Rs.1,000. However, if the securities decrease in value, your losses will also be magnified.
  3. Leverage on 500+ stocks: Get leverage in 500+ stocks & ETFs listed in NSE & BSE.
  4. No limit on holding period: Get funded for T+Infinity, as long as margin remains with prescribed limits.
  5. Lowest interest rate: Pay rate of interest of only 0.05% per day on the outstanding borrowed capital for each day the amount remains unpaid.

Equity Delivery Leverage Stock Wise

Not all stocks are eligible for margin trading. Only the top 500+ stocks are eligible. This is because margin trading is a riskier form of trading, and the exchange wants to ensure that only experienced traders are using it.

Here is a sneak peek of some of the stocks in which margin trading is available:

What are the interest charges in Margin Trading Facility and how to check it?

A nominal interest of only 0.05% per day on the outstanding borrowed capital for each day the amount remains unpaid. Pay rate of interest of only 0.05% per day on the outstanding borrowed capital for each day the amount remains unpaid.

For example: If you have a cash balance of Rs 10,000 and using Margin Trading Facility you bought a delivery position of Rs 30,000, wherein Rs 20,000 is given by Samco as leverage. So, an interest of 0.05% on 20,000 each day the amount remains unpaid.
