How do I resolve a margin call?

If a margin call is triggered on your account, you have the following options:

  • Deposit money into your margin loan to reduce your loan balance.
  • Transfer additional approved shares or managed funds to increase your portfolio value.
  • Sell a sufficient part of your portfolio to reduce your loan balance.
  • Request for funds in your CommSec cash account to be placed on hold as further collateral.
