Cash & Margin Available to Withdraw
Field Definitions
- View Multiple Margin Summary
If entitled, view combined balances for accounts enrolled in a multiple margin relationship to which you are authorized.
A multiple margin relationship represents two or more margin accounts that maintain margin balances, margin positions, or both, for the same beneficial owner for the purpose of calculating a single Special Memorandum Account (SMA). Multiple Margin Summary is available when an account is associated with an active multiple margin relationship.
Balances might reflect real-time prices, 20-minute delayed prices, or prior day closing prices for the underlying securities – depending on the pricing method elected by your firm. The information is refreshed to display intraday values (if available) for some account balances whenever you access the window or select the Refresh icon. When you refresh balances here, the Balances section on Account Cartridge also refreshes.
Except where indicated that a balance is specific to an account type, balances represent aggregated values of these account types:

On Multiple Margin Summary, Cash & Margin Available to Withdraw is calculated using one of the following methods, selected during initial setup of the multiple margin relationship:
Aggregated Balance (Default)
The value of the margin surplus from all accounts in the relationship is consolidated within the
primary account to calculate Cash & Margin Available To Withdraw. As a result, the
availability of funds for withdrawal in the sub-accounts does not include margin surplus and is
equal to each account's primary core fund balance and eligible non-core money market funds
If a margin deficiency exists, the availability of funds for withdrawal may be reduced.
Distributed Balances
If a margin excess exists at the relationship level, the margin excess is distributed across accounts in the relationship based on the account-level contribution to the relationship's margin excess. The distributed excess amount increments the
Cash & Margin Available To Withdraw in each account within the relationship.
If a margin deficiency exists at the relationship level, the availability of cash available for withdrawal may be reduced, although a margin call does not exist at the account level.
Note
Margin calls are allocated proportionately across all accounts with a margin call status and, if
necessary, applied to the remaining accounts proportionately, based on each account's cash collected
balance. All monetary disbursements are subject to funds availability for the account from which they
are drawn, which may or may not include margin surplus, as described above.
Related balances are grouped into sections. Sections may differ from account to account. The availability of a section for an account is based on the account type, positions held, and your user entitlements.
By default, all sections are expanded.
