Overview

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.

Account Types

Except where indicated that a balance is specific to an account type, balances represent aggregated values of these account types:

Cash & Margin Available to Withdraw

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:

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.

Recent & Change

Most balances display two columns: Recent and Change.

Field Definition
Recent

Regardless of the pricing method, in certain cases where real-time prices or delayed prices are unavailable, prior day closing prices are used.

  • If your firm elected real-time prices, recent values reflect real-time prices for the underlying securities.
  • If your firm elected delayed prices, recent values reflect 20-minute delayed prices for the underlying securities.
  • If your firm did not elect real-time or delayed prices, recent values reflect prior day closing prices for the underlying securities.

Note
For accounts holding options, market values on the Multiple Margin Summary window and the Account Cartridge might differ from values displayed on the Account Positions window. This is due to a variation in the pricing routine used for options.

Change

The dollar change since the prior close; some fields also include the percentage change.

  • $ Change = Recent - Prior Close
  • Change (%) = 100 x (Recent - Prior Close) / Prior Close

Highlights

Field Definition
Margin Interest Rate The interest rate for all accounts in the relationship. If the interest rate is the same across all accounts, the margin interest rate percentage displays. If any accounts in the relationship have a different interest rate then the field displays "Multiple" and does not display an actual margin interest rate.
Total Accrued Margin Interest The total amount of interest accrued at the multiple margin relationship level within the interest cycle shown in dollars. This amount aggregates accrued interest across the relationship, including if there are different rates between accounts.
Today's Start of the Day House Call Cushion

A general approximation that intends to show how close your multiple margin relationship may be to a house call in terms of a change in margin market value. This should not be your sole basis for any action. Please consider all factors before taking any action and note assumptions and notes below.

Assumptions used in calculation:

  • All securities decline today by the same relative amount from the prior day close of business regardless of asset class.
  • The average RBR (house) requirement remains static, i.e., there are no changes in house requirements, add-on, or stress levels.
  • There are no other transactions or activity in the account.

Notes:

  • Will not show results and will show "N/A" if multiple margin relationship has options, type 3 shorts, relationship type 2 net margin credit, or any type of call.
  • Will not factor in additional accounts held outside of the existing multiple margin relationship.
  • No calculations of SMA.

Formula:

  1. House security requirements divided by type 2 Security Market Value to create effective margin requirement percent.
  2. Net margin debit multiplied by -1, then divided by 1 less the effective margin requirement percent to create margin market value at no surplus.
  3. Type 2 Security Market Value less Margin Market Value at no surplus divided by type 2 Security Market Value to create "Today's Start of Day House Call Cushion" percentage.
