- Long Margin Interest: On Margin Accounts, Leverage interest is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), but not less than 500 bps, plus mark-up. Long margin interest is charged daily on the cost of open long positions.
- Short Margin Interest: Short margin interest is calculated on a case-by-case basis, depending on stock availability and prevailing prime brokers’ interest rates.
