Assume stock loanable percentage at 60%

Customer’s available capital	$40,000
Maximum value of the designated stock that you can buy	$100,000[$40,000/(100% – stock loanable percentage)]
If the customer buys the stock, the margin account portfolio will be as follows:
Total Loan	$60,000
Effective loanable value	$60,000 (Market value of the stock x stock loanable percentage)
Margin ratio( = Total loan / effective loanable value)	100% (= $60,000 / $60,000)

Scenario 1: If the market value of that stock increases by 10% to $110,000

Margin ratio	90.91% (= $60,000 / $66,000)
Profit earned after the stock sold	$10,000 (excluding interest and transaction handling fees)
Rate of return	25% (= $10,000 / $40,000)

Scenario 2: If the market value of that stock decreases by 17% to $83,000

Margin ratio	120.48% (= $60,000 / $49,800)
The stock will be sold by the Bank once the margin ratio reaches the sell-out level.
The amount lost after the stock sold	$17,000 (excluding interest and transaction handling fees)
Rate of return	– 42.5% (= -$17,000 / $40,000)

If the margin ratio reaches 110%, customers are required to cover the excess so as to restore the required margin ratio to 100% or below. If margin ratio reaches 120%, the Bank will begin to sell your stocks to restore the required margin ratio without prior notice.
The required margin ratio is subject to change at the discretion of Nanyang Commercial Bank from time to time.
Stock loanable percentage may vary from 10% to 70% among stocks. For details, please contact our branch staff.

Important Notice

Risk of Securities Margin Service
The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. Due to the prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, You may sustain losses in excess of your cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with us. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” orders so as to limit your losses. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin or interest payments. If the required margin or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. It is likely that losses will be incurred rather than profits made as a result of buying and selling securities.
