Initial margin requirement

Investors, when purchasing a new security, are required to pay a minimum portion in cash. This amount is known as the initial margin or down payment. It is a percentage of the total investment and is intended to protect the lender in case of default. This concept is crucial in the world of finance and can greatly impact an investor's returns.
