With regards to securities markets, a margin buyer is a person who only puts up a portion of the cost for buying securities. The rest of the funds required is borrowed. The "margin" of what percentage is required is set by a governing body. In the US, the margin requirements are set by the Federal Reserve Bank of NY.
