This institution should expect a sum of 30 million to arrive in two months (you want 3 million now). Mainly, you only need to pay a certain percentage of the deposit to buy stock index futures, and you don't need 65,438+000% of the deposit. Generally, you need to use full funds to buy stocks with the same value (excluding financing operations with stocks here).

According to the current margin ratio of stock index futures, the minimum margin is 12%. The agency expects that 30 million yuan will arrive in two months, and stock index futures will be used for hedging. Multiply the minimum margin ratio by the estimated capital, which is 30 million *12% = 3.6 million.

The practice of this institution is actually to obtain higher investment leverage with less funds to ensure the purchasing power of the funds it will obtain in the future.
