Equity Ratings
Equity ratings are measure of the stocks’ efficiency, which is provided as collateral against margin financing. The equity rating declines as the quality of the purchased shares or the intended shares falls. Certain stocks aren’t usually considered for financing.
In addition, investment firms rate all listed shares based on historical performance. Margin clients can utilize the margin provided to them based on the rating of each company.
Example:
If your capital is SAR 1 million and you receive a margin of SAR 1 million (maximum buying power becomes SAR 2 million), and you intend to buy a stock with a rating of 60%, you may use 60% of the maxium buying power to buy the share (SAR 1.2 million). If you don’t buy into the stock using the maximum buying power (SAR 1.2 million), you will still be able to use the remainder of the buying power (SAR 800,000) to buy stocks with 100% rating, use SAR 400,000 to buy stocks with 80% rating, or a combination of both. It is important to note that if you use the maximum buying power to buy stocks with 60% rating. You will not be able to buy any other stocks with 60% rating or less.

What are fractional shares?
Trading fractional shares allows you to invest in companies, when you cannot afford the full share price.
It also makes it easier for you to diversify your portfolio by allowing you to purchase fractional amounts in multiple companies when you otherwise may have only been able to purchase whole shares in one or two companies. If you enable your account to trade in fractions, you will buy or sell a fraction of a share based on the amount of cash you specify.
