NASA Securities Launches Margin Trading Service, Offers Plans from NPR 1 Million to NPR 20 Million

NASA Securities Company Limited has officially launched its margin trading service from Monday, introducing new investment facilities in Nepal’s capital market. The company announced the commencement of the service following the implementation of the “Margin Trading Directive, 2082” issued by the Securities Board of Nepal.

With the new service, investors can now purchase shares by taking loans through the broker. According to the company, this facility will enable investors to utilize attractive market opportunities even with limited capital.

NASA Securities stated that it has designed a flexible and customer-friendly loan structure to meet the diverse financial needs of investors. Under this system, the company has introduced various margin trading plans ranging from NPR 1 million to NPR 20 million, with loan tenures from one to three months.

For example, an investor wishing to take a margin facility worth NPR 1 million needs to deposit only 30 percent (NPR 300,000) as the initial margin. The remaining NPR 700,000 will be provided as a loan. If the loan is taken for one month, the total service charge and interest will be approximately NPR 7,000. For two months, the charge will be NPR 13,650, and for three months, it will be NPR 19,950, as informed by the company.

To access the margin trading service, interested clients must open both a margin demat account and a margin trading account with NASA Securities. Investors are also required to trade only in eligible securities as listed under the guidelines issued by SEBON.

The company believes that the launch of margin trading will open new opportunities for investors and contribute to increasing market participation and liquidity in Nepal’s capital market.
