Description

The minimum amount of equity that must be maintained in a margin account to keep positions open.

Maintenance margin is the least amount of equity an investor must have in their margin account to avoid a margin call. If the account balance falls below this level due to market losses, the broker may require additional funds or close out positions to restore the maintenance margin level.
