About Customer Portfolio Margining (CPM)

The new margining rules provide reduced margin requirements for qualified investors with highly liquid and diversified portfolios. The new rules allow for the margin requirement to be reflective of the risk of the portfolio. The measure of risk will be calculated through simulated market moves up and down, using 10 equidistant points, and accounting for offsets between and among all products held in the account that are highly correlated.

Reg T margin requirements will still be in effect for positions within an account that are not CPM eligible.
