This collateral is received after deducting a certain percentage of value called \u2018haircut\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Treat Trading as a Business!!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get success in trading, we need to treat Trading as a Business. Usually, successful traders expect 3%-4% return per month and a 20%\u201330% return yearly. To achieve this, they try to deploy their funds in the right place to get better returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retail traders usually keep Cash Funds with brokers and trade. For their cash funds, they don&#8217;t get any return. At the end of the year, their total return depends on the return generated from trading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to maximize the return?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most HNI traders invest their money in different instruments that give a fixed return and higher collateral. As we discussed in the previous post, the margin pledge system works with the 50:50 margin rule. It means 50% margin can be consumed from collateral and 50% margin needs to be paid from cash. As a trader, you should invest 50% of your funds in fixed income securities and pledge to get collateral margin. Lets understand with some examples<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Government Bonds: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government bonds provide approx. 6% interest (This may change from time to time). There is relevantly no risk, like in an equity stock investment. You invest 50% of funds in Government bonds and pledge to get up to 90% collateral margin for trading. Your total trading\/investment returns will be boosted by the 7% returns earned from Government bonds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>SGBs (Sovereign gold bonds):<\/b> SGB\u2019s give a fixed 2.5% return every year in addition to gold price appreciation. Gold historically acted as a natural hedge for equity, so some traders prefer to invest in SBGs and pledge collateral funds. You can invest 50% of your funds in SGBs, and that can fetch up to 90% collateral margin, which can be used for trading. Your total trading\/investment returns will be boosted by 2.5% of SGB interest and gold value appreciation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the below steps in Paytm Money to transact SGB &amp; Bonds:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Login to Paytm Money App<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to Watchlist<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type SGB or GOI and get the list of securities to transact.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4638\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4638\" style=\"width: 792px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4638 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/paytmmoney.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Increase-Trade-Margin_ss-792x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"792\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paytmmoney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Increase-Trade-Margin_ss-792x1024.png 792w, https:\/\/www.paytmmoney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Increase-Trade-Margin_ss-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/www.paytmmoney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Increase-Trade-Margin_ss-768x993.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paytmmoney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Increase-Trade-Margin_ss.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4638\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Note: The securities are quoted as an example and not as a recommendation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that there may be liquidity issues with Government bonds and SGB\u2019s.
