Public does not currently offer Portfolio Margin. Right now, we offer traditional Reg T margin borrowing capabilities.
What is Portfolio Margin?
Portfolio margin is a risk-based method used to calculate margin requirements for brokerage accounts, specifically those holding a variety of assets like options, futures, and stocks. It differs from traditional margin, which sets requirements based on individual positions, by instead assessing the overall risk of the entire portfolio. This approach can lead to lower margin requirements for hedged positions, potentially increasing leverage.
