Margin Calls

It is your responsibilty to monitor and maintain sufficient equity and margin in your Trader SIPP Account at all times.

Please be aware that where additional margin is required in order to maintain an open position, you will need to notify your SIPP Operator to make the payment from your SIPP. As the payment is coming from your SIPP, this may take slightly longer than if you were making the payment direct. We recommend you ask your SIPP Operator to remit funds electronically in such cases. There is no guarantee that your SIPP Operator will remit the funds in time to keep the position open or that CMC Markets will hold the position open whilst waiting for funds. Ideally, if you anticipate making further payments to your Trader SIPP Account, especially if to meet margin calls, it is suggested you retain accessible funds within your SIPP to meet such eventualities.
