More investment power with less capital
Whether you have a position to pay or are planning to buy into a market dip, OCBC Share Financing allows greater purchasing power with less capital outlay. OCBC Share Financing will allow you to buy up to 2.5* times the value of your shares. If you choose to deposit cash, we will multiply your investment capital by up to 3.5* times, effectively boosting your investment power and potential returns.

Same-day trading
OCBC Share Financing lets you start trading on the same day** you open your account with shares from your Central Depository Account or cash deposits. So you can take advantage of opportunities in the stock market as soon as you discover them.

Trade online or with broker
OCBC Share Financing gives you the flexibility to trade via our Internet trading portal, iOCBC or with your broker. That way, you will never miss out on time-critical opportunities.

At OCBC Securities, we understand that knowing when and where to invest is key. To reduce the guesswork involved, we have developed an online share financing simulator (not applicable for ShareInvest) that gives you better visibility of your investment risks and opportunities. Now you have greater control and confidence when making investment decisions.
 
Investors used to be dependent on their financiers to advice the margin percentage. Now, with the online Share Financing simulator, you are able to get that information anytime of the day.
 
As an online tool residing within iOCBC, it allows Share Financing customers to simulate their margin percentage (ratio of Share Value over Outstanding Loan) and make quicker informed decisions.
 
All our Trading Representatives (TR) are equipped with the Share Financing Simulator of your share financing account too. They are only 1 phone call away and more than happy to help you generate various scenarios to make informed investment decisions.

As illustrated above, the Margin Percentage is dependent on the Total Share Value. Should the share price decline, the Margin Percentage drops accordingly. When the Margin Percentage falls below the 140% mark, you will need to bring it back to this level by either liquidating some or all of your shares or by furnishing additional collateral. We will advise you to do so by issuing a Margin Call notice.

Share Financing is a secured revolving credit line backed by cash or shares. Like any debt tool, share financing, if used properly, can boost one’s wealth over time or bring about financial losses. With share financing, you can leverage with cash or capitalise on your idle share asset, such as shares sitting in your Central Depository (or CDP) account, to buy more shares. This minimizes your investment outlay since you do not have to lock up these monies, which may be earmarked for other purposes.

Before trading securities in a share financing account, you should carefully review the share financing agreement provided by OCBC Securities Private Limited (“OSPL”). Consult OSPL regarding any questions or concerns you may have with your margin accounts.

Leverage
Like any leverage products, the contract value traded can be several times greater than the margin funds or collaterals deposited with the broking house.  With leverage, it also means that the risk and return are similarly magnified several times.

Margin calls
A decline in the value of securities collateralized in your share financing account may result in margin calls or requests to place additional funds on deposit with the broker to cover the short fall in the margin requirement level to maintain the position. In the case when an investor is unable to put in the additional funds, the broker may close out the position. In addition, the holder will still be liable for any further losses that may have resulted from the position being closed out.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR SHARE FINANCING

Borrowing to finance the trading of securities (leveraging/gearing) carries a high degree of risk. If the value of the collaterals declines substantially, falling below the maintenance margin requirement, you may be called upon to deposit substantial additional funds on short notice in order to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the specified time, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
