Question What Is a Maintenance Margin?
Advice from Guru
Hello Andrew,

A maintenance margin is the minimum amount of equity that must be maintained in a margin account. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and FINRA require investors to keep at least 25% of the total value of their securities in a margin account.

Although NYSE and FINRA require a 25% minimum, many brokerage firms may require a higher maintenance requirement—as much as 30% to 40%.

Maintenance margin is also called a minimum maintenance or maintenance requirement.
