Anyone doing share margin financing here? I need someone to approve my application... I have about 15k in cash and 35k in stocks, but the issue is that I'm currently still studying and I have 2 more years to go before I can graduate.

I'm willing to take a much lower margin in to reduce any risk that the bank might be taking on.

I can give all the research that I've done on the company.











on a side note...

For HLebroking, you will only be dealing with their central office. no Hong Leong branch provide stock broking department or able to advise anything on share broking/margin.

Coming back to your question, I just enquire from HL last week.

I think their webpage is outdated.

you can only trade up to 1.5x
meaning, if you put in RM10k,
you can trade up to 25k (meaning 10k your money + 15k bank money)

I find their rate not very competitive,

they are giving BLR - 1%
If you trade more than 500k, then only you get BLR - 1.75%
however, for the first 3 month of opening account, you will get 10% on all your month end interest charges, to encourage you to open account

Hope that help.

For Share margin, so far, the best is still Public Bank and Maybank

funny.. i actually called them up recently and their rate is actually 1.8x if u have share collateral and 2.8x if u have cash... but they don't want to do my business..... lol... even after I tell them i'm willing to take 0.5x only.

Investing via share margin may coz double the risk. half cent tots only.


funny that u should say that. Go back and read the first post and u can see someone applying for SMF, while another person is saying how risky it is. If he had gone ahead with his SMF. I bet now he would have easily tripled his cash.

Some risks are definitely worth taking, but maybe not while the market is topping new highs no?

Don't let the junior know it all's tell u what works and doesnt, because they really have no idea.
