Initial Margin
In some margin agreements this is called an independent amount. The concept comes from the futures market where you must make a deposit into your margin account at the beginning of trading. For OTC products it means an amount of margin representing risk in an entire portfolio. This can be recalculated any time, but mostly at the end of each business day.
