A Margin Loan is a type of secured loan that allows you to borrow against the value of the securities you already own in your M1 Individual Brokerage Account, Joint Brokerage Account, and/or Trust Account.
Margin Loans are interest bearing loans that use your underlying securities (eg. stocks, ETFs, bonds or mutual funds) as collateral to act as a flexible line of credit when you need it.
This means that your brokerage is lending you money with the understanding that your investments can be sold to cover the Margin Loan, if necessary, and you only need to pay interest on your line of credit when you use it.
