Why is the repo haircut often referred to as 'initial margin' in institutional collateral management?

  1. Because it is the interest paid on the first day of the repo agreement.
  2. Because it must be paid back first if the security seller defaults.
  3. Because it is only required for 'initial' trades and waived for renewals.
  4. Because it represents the up-front equity stake required to enter the position.
