Series 65: Combined Positions In Margin Accounts

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Combined Positions in Margin Accounts

A combined account is an account that contains both long and short positions in it. To calculate the combined equity within the account, calculate the equity of both the long and short positions and add them together.

• Example: Combined account.

John Robert’s account contains the following:

LMV = $65,000

SMV = $20,000

Debit balance = $40,000

Credit balance = $35,000

To find the account’s equity, start by using the relevant equations:

LMV	–	debit balance	=	equity
$65,000	–	$40,000	=	$25,000

credit balance	–	SMV	=	equity
$35,000	–	$20,000	=	$15,000

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

The material and website were very well organized and thorough. I felt I was prepared for the actual, real test when I took it because I had gone through their range of questions with all the practice tests that I could do on their website, covering every topic, approached with different angles.

Stacey Sperry, Durham, NC

Thanks again for all your help. Loved the study materials and the book was very well written and easy to read. [Series 65]

Josh J. Solana Beach, CA

I passed the Series 65 on the first try and I would absolutely give credit to this tool. We all learn in vastly different ways, so having the options available for a study guide, audiobook, video training, flash cards, practice tests - and ALL of the other resources available was critical to my success. I've been out of school for over a decade and remembering HOW to study was hard. I'm so glad I had all of these options.

Ashley Dunning, Inspire Investing. Kansas City, MO

I passed the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. Your practice exams really helped. Thanks again.

Colin Tucker, Little Rock, AR

The Series 65 was a tough exam, but thanks to Solomon I passed at the first attempt. The Solomon Exam Prep Course covered every single aspect in detail. The material was not only important to pass the exam, but it is extremely helpful in the job as investment adviser representative.

I am 73 years old and have been retired for 5 years. My fulfilling career of 38 years was mainly as a portfolio manager in a trust setting. A good friend of mine recently started an RIA and asked me to consider coming to work for him. Since I loved my job and retirement is boring in comparison, the decision to jump back in was rather easy. You know the old saying: if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. But yes, I must first pass Series 65. The study materials and whole program you have constructed are excellent. I read the phone-book sized reading materials and took many practice exams on the website. Just this morning I sat for the test and passed. Hooray!! I am convinced that your test preparation process made the exam seem easy. So I will recommend to anyone preparing for a securities exam to definitely consider getting your program. Thanks again for your outstanding program and guidance."
