An Analysis into the Effectiveness of Margin Financing – A UK Based Exploratory Study (2012)

Financial markets have been growing and shall continue to grow even on rebound because fiscal and monetary policies globally are interlinked. Economic output cannot be planned or curtailed without support from money market. The origins of margin financing can be traced back to the mid 70s and early 80s when the financial markets of securities and stocks actually were on the rise.

These were times of excess liquidity and growing, booming economy on the back of population explosion. World was in the moment of adding 2 billion in the next 3 decades and opportunity for growth and investment were everywhere. This is where the stock markets grew on the back of industrial and manufacturing sector growth. Business avenues raise money and profit and when that is happening people look towards securitization of their investments. This led to development of derivatives and the eventuality was margin financing which was means for investors, buyers to leverage their position without actually having the money.

This in a way was a big drawback because money was coming from some place and the commodity in question either was being overprices or under priced. Hence in case of profit or loss wealth was being created or was being eroded based on speculative assumptions which are categorically labeled as the reasons for major financial problems as existent today. Purpose of the study would be to identify the key parameters which should be avoided while opting for such speculation so as to ensure safeguard of public and private equity.
