Why Do Futures Companies Charge Different Margins in Mock Trading? Does the CFFEX Have the Unified Regulation?
2010-11-24

 

The CFFEX set the margin of contract trading at 8% of the contract value in the “Futures Contract of CSI 300 Index” (Exposure Draft), and the CFFEX is entitled to adjust the margin according to the market risk. The ordinary investors, who can not directly open the margin accounts at the CFFEX, can only open the margin accounts at the qualified futures companies for trading and settlement. To tighten the control over the investors’ risks, relevant futures companies will increase the margin proportion stipulated by the CFFEX by a few percentage points. The specific proportions are decided by the futures companies where the investors open their accounts, resulting in the difference in margins charged by the futures companies.
