FAQs
Trading on equity is an action wherein a company raises debt to boost returns on investments. The funds are used to procure more assets that the company hopes will offer greater returns than the interest payable on the new debt. Companies borrow capital based on their equity. A company borrowing an amount larger than its equity is referred to as 'trading on thin equity'. If the amount borrowed is lower, it is called 'trading on thick equity'.
