Margin trading facilities

Margin trading facilities can support your long term investment strategy by providing leverage, amplifying your exposure to financial products. With our global presence and active involvement in the market, we can connect you with a wide range of margin trading strategies and opportunities.

Margin trading facilities are specifically set up to enable you to trade derivatives and foreign exchange. We are able to offer a broad range of solutions to help you achieve your goals. HSBC trades derivatives in many international and local equity, credit, currency and interest rate markets and a spectrum of commodities.

Once the margin line is established, you will be able to trade a wide variety of financial products, including:

  • Options
  • Swaps
  • Futures
  • Forwards

If your initial margin declines, you may be required to deposit additional cash or securities in order to reinstate your initial margin requirement.
