Understand the risks
Risks You Should Understand
Margin financing is a leveraged facility. Before you borrow, make sure you understand how it can work against you as well as for you.
Margin calls
If your holdings fall in value, you may be required to deposit additional cash or securities at short notice to maintain the required margin.
Forced liquidation
If a margin call is not met in time, some or all of your positions can be sold to recover the financing — potentially at a loss, at an unfavourable price, and without further instruction from you.
Amplified losses
Because you are investing with borrowed funds, a decline in the market reduces your own capital faster than an unleveraged position would.
Financing costs
Borrowed funds accrue a financing charge for as long as the position is held, which reduces your net return and applies whether the trade moves for or against you.
Balanced view
Margin Financing: Key Considerations
Margin financing can broaden investment opportunities, but it carries material risks that every investor must weigh first. Because the facility operates on borrowed funds, both gains and losses are amplified relative to the capital you commit. Before using it, evaluate your financial objectives, your tolerance for loss, and your ability to manage market volatility.
At BSL, our professional team offers personalized guidance to help investors understand the eligibility, obligations, and risks associated with margin financing, so they can determine whether it aligns with their investment objectives and risk tolerance.

A margin financing system refers to a broker-facilitated mechanism to provide funds to eligible securities. BSL offers a margin financing system for eligible securities to expand investment opportunities through regulated financing solutions.
How does margin financing help increase buying power?
It provides additional capital beyond your available cash, allowing you to invest a larger portfolio and ultimately increase your buying power.
