Active Box
Collateral used to secure funds borrowed on a margin account. A margin account allows an investor to buy securities with money borrowed from a broker; the funds are payable on demand of the broker. They also must be secured by an active box, which usually consists of securities owned by the borrower. The "box" refers to a safe where the stock and bond certificates are kept until the margin account is paid off. It is also called an open box.
