Stock Margin Trading is a service that allows you to borrow money to buy shares. You invest using a combination of your own money and borrowed funds (being credit which we provide to you).
The shares purchased through Stock Margin Trading are used as collateral to secure the credit provided to you, together with any applicable fees and charges.
etoro may grant an onward right of use over those shares to a third-party broker which we utilise in connection with the margin lending arrangement.
If you do not meet your obligations under the margin lending arrangement, etoro may exercise its rights over the relevant shares in accordance with the applicable terms, including selling the shares to reduce or repay the loan.
You must pay interest on the loan (financing fees) and repay the amount borrowed, even if the value of your investments falls.
