Notice of Margin Loan Interest Calculation Method Update Effective July 1, 2025
In an effort to standardize the interest calculation methodology for margin interest rate and plan to offer more competitive financing solutions aligned with clients' trading needs, MSVN will adopt a new interest accrual basis for margin loans effective July 1, 2025.
Key Change:
Starting from July 1, 2025, margin loan interest will be calculated on a calendar day basis instead of the current working day basis. This adjustment may result in a change to the interest incurred on margin-financed securities transactions executed on Fridays or prior to public holidays, as outlined in the illustrative schedule below.
