Risks of Short Selling
- Because the price of a security you have short sold can increase by an unlimited amount, your potential losses are also unlimited.
- Your lender may ask you to make a payment, provide additional collateral or close out your short sale transaction before your planned timeframe.
- Because a short sell facility is a feature of a margin loan, it also carries with it the same risks as you would find with a margin loan.
Please ensure you read and understand the Leveraged Short Plus Product Guide before proceeding with a short selling strategy.
