A margin call is a demand from a broker or lender that an investor using margin deposit additional money or securities into their account in order to bring the account back up to the required minimum margin level. This is typically triggered when the value of the securities in the account falls below a certain percentage of the loan value. If the investor is unable to meet the margin call, the broker or lender may sell some of the securities in the account to cover the margin requirement, potentially resulting in significant losses for the investor.
