Margin

What's the definition?
Allows investors to use borrowed funds from a broker to make security purchases. Margin is the amount of equity (stated as a percent) in an investment, or the amount that is not borrowed. For example, if an investor uses 60% margin, this would mean that 60% of the investment is financed with the investors own on capital, and that the remaining 40% was borrowed money.
