    Margin Financing

    Margin financing is a powerful tool that allows traders and investors to amplify their market exposure using borrowed funds. By leveraging the assets in their portfolio as collateral, clients can engage in larger trades than their immediate capital would permit.

    Margin Financing

    Benefits of Margin Financing with PSS

    Increased Market Exposure

    By leveraging your portfolio, you can engage in larger trades, potentially amplifying returns.

    Flexible Trading

    Adapt to market opportunities without needing to constantly deposit or withdraw funds.

    Competitive Interest Rates

    At PSS, we ensure our margin financing is cost-effective, with transparent and competitive rates.

    Seamless Experience

    Integrated into the PSS trading platform, our margin financing is user-friendly and straightforward.

    How does It Work

    Step 1
    Setting Up a Margin Account
    Open a dedicated margin account with PSS, separate from your regular trading account.
    Step 2
    Depositing Collateral
    Transfer securities or funds to your margin account, which will serve as collateral for your borrowed funds.
    Step 3
    Borrowing
    Based on the value of your collateral, PSS will extend credit to you. This credit can be utilized for trading.
    Step 4
    Interest
    Interest will be charged on the borrowed amount, typically calculated daily and debited monthly.

    Key Considerations

    1. Leverage Risks: While margin can amplify profits, it can also magnify losses. It's essential to fully understand and be comfortable with the risks involved.

    2. Margin Calls: If the value of your collateral drops below a specified level, PSS might issue a margin call, requiring you to deposit additional funds or securities.

    3. Potential Liquidation: If the margin call isn't met promptly, PSS may liquidate assets in the account to cover the deficit.

    Structured Financing

    Bridging Prime Brokerage and Structured Financing

    Key Offerings in Structured Financing

    Custom Repo Agreements

    Repurchase (Repo) Agreements are fundamental financing tools where one party sells securities to another, agreeing to repurchase them later at a specified price. At PSS, we elevate this concept with Custom Repo Agreements, designed to cater specifically to the unique requirements of our clientele.

    The Mechanics of a Custom Repo Agreement

    The Mechanics of a Custom Repo Agreement

    Initiation

    The seller (borrower) sells securities to the buyer (lender) for cash.

    Term Duration

    The agreement can span overnight to several months, depending on client needs.

    Termination

    At the end of the term, the seller repurchases the securities at a previously agreed-upon price, which includes an interest component.

    4. Cost-Effective Financing: Often, repo agreements provide a more cost-effective borrowing solution compared to unsecured borrowing.

    Total Return Swaps (TRS)

    Total Return Swaps, commonly known as TRS, are financial derivatives that allow one party to receive the total return of an asset, including income and capital appreciation, in exchange for paying the other party a predetermined funding rate. This enables participants to gain exposure to an asset without actually owning it.

    How TRS Functions

    How TRS Functions

    Parties Involved

    There are typically two parties - the Total Return Receiver (gains exposure to the asset) and the Total Return Payer (transfers the asset's risk and return).

    Agreement Details:

    Both parties agree on the reference asset, the duration of the swap, and the funding rate.

    Settlement Process

    Periodically, the parties will settle any payments based on the asset's performance and the agreed-upon funding rate.

    Applications of Total Return Swaps

    Portfolio Diversification

    TRS allows institutions and traders to diversify their portfolios without altering their asset composition drastically.

    Leverage

    Attain amplified exposure to specific assets or markets without the need for significant capital outlay.

    Regulatory & Tax Considerations

    Navigate regulatory or tax constraints in certain jurisdictions by gaining exposure through TRS rather than direct investment.

    Shorting Capabilities

    Benefit from a potential decline in an asset's value by becoming the Total Return Payer.

    Engaging in Total Return Swaps with PSS

    1. Initial Dialogue: Discuss your financial goals and how TRS can fit into your broader strategy.

    2. Contract Design: Collaborate with our experts to draft the TRS terms, ensuring alignment with your objectives.

    3. Execution: Once terms are agreed upon, the TRS contract is executed.

    4. Ongoing Support: Throughout the TRS duration, benefit from our continuous support, market insights, and regular reporting.
