A fall in value in assets in a hedge fund provokes a margin call, forcing the fund to sell assets to bring leverage back to its initial level. However, the lender now imposes a higher margin, or "haircut", as the assets are now riskier. This in turn forces further borrowing and further sales. Mar 10, 2008
