Could I receive a margin call?

Updated over a week ago

No. You're never personally on the hook for a personal margin call.

Any margin or asset-backed loans are handled entirely at the Pod level, not by individual members.

The Manager might use:

  • Stock-backed margin loans to refinance aircraft purchases

  • Aircraft-secured loans to cover short-term cash needs

If the markets drop and the loan-to-value ratio crosses the lender’s limit, a margin call may go to the Pod, but never to you.

To meet the lender's collateral requirements, the Manager may:

  1. Sell or hedge part of the securities portfolio

  2. Use the working-capital reserve

  3. Take out additional aircraft-backed credit

Members are not required to add more money beyond their initial investment. The LLC agreement clearly states that even if your capital account goes negative, you’re not personally responsible for covering it.

At worst, the Pod might need to sell assets to cover a margin call, which could lower the net asset value and indirectly reduce your account balance. But you’ll never get a direct cash call.
