Robinhood launches margin investing in the UK

On October 21st, Robinhood announced the launch of margin investing in the UK, allowing customers to borrow from Robinhood and use their existing holdings to purchase additional securities to expand and diversify their investment portfolios. Margin investing is based on the value of assets in the customer's investment account, providing greater purchasing power as collateral. For a long time, UK retail investors have faced challenges in accessing similar margin investing features, which can provide more ways to maximize their investments. Traditional brokerage firms typically charge high fees and reserve preferential rates for the super-rich, leaving ordinary investors with limited options.
