CollateralMargin
In securities lending, the margin is the difference between the actual market value of a loaned asset and the value assigned to the asset for collateral purposes. The size of the margin reflects the perceived risk of a fall in the value of the collateral utilised to cover the loan exposure. The larger the perceived risk, the higher the collateral margin.
