System Margin Trading

System margin trading is a form of margin trading in which the repayment deadline (in principle, six months) and eligible stocks, among other terms, are set according to uniform rules established by the financial instruments exchange.

Characteristics

System margin trading is characterized by a repayment deadline that, in principle, is set at a maximum of six months, for stocks designated by the exchange as eligible for system margin trading. In addition, when sell orders exceed buy orders, a cost known as "gyakuhibu" (reverse interest), intended to compensate for a shortage of shares, can arise.

Difference from General Margin Trading

While general margin trading has terms set independently by each securities firm, system margin trading has terms set uniformly based on exchange rules. Note that costs specific to system margin trading, such as reverse interest, which do not apply to general margin trading, can arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

In principle, it is up to six months. By the deadline, the position must be settled either through an offsetting transaction or through delivery/receipt of the underlying stock.

It is a cost that can arise in system margin trading to compensate for a shortage of shares, for example when sell orders significantly exceed buy orders. Since it can become an unexpected cost, caution is required.
