When a maintenance call is issued for your M1 Individual/Joint Brokerage Account or Trust Account the Margin Loan is from, you will need to deposit additional cash or sell a portion of your portfolio to resolve the maintenance call.
Select "Learn More" > "Resolve Call" to be redirected to a screen where you will be presented with those options.
1) Depositing additional funds: Selecting "Deposit Funds" will redirect you to the Transfers tab, where you will be able to make a deposit to cover the maintenance call.
Auto-invest will need to be turned off to ensure that the deposited funds are not automatically invested.
2) Selling stocks: If you want to sell stocks to resolve the maintenance call, select "View Holdings."
You will be redirected to your holdings, listed from highest maintenance requirement to the lowest. Selecting a holding will redirect you to "Position Details," where you can then choose to sell that stock.
Auto-invest will need to be turned off before securities can be sold.
