-
Higher margin requirements for debt securities, by way of a margin surcharge, may be established by IIROC in response to market conditions.
-
IIROC monitors the price volatility of debt securities that Dealer Members trade, determines when a margin surcharge is required, and when it is no longer required.
-
The margin surcharge required under this section 5240 is:
-
50% of the margin required in sections 5210 through 5226, and
-
required for at least 30 days.
-
-
A Dealer Member will be notified by IIROC of the imposition or revocation of a margin surcharge promptly following IIROC determining that the margin surcharge is, or is no longer, required. The notice is effective, and a Dealer Member must be in compliance with it, not less than five days after it is given.
There is no history log for this rule.
