The related amounts receivable and payable for unsettled securities transactions are recorded net in receivables from or payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing agencies on the Company’s balance sheet. Receivables from clearing organizations are primarily comprised of cash received by the Company upon execution of short trades that is restricted from withdrawal by the clearing agent. Margin payable represents amounts borrowed from Pershing, LLC to finance the Company’s trading portfolio. Effectively, all of the Company’s investments-trading and deposits with clearing organizations serve as collateral for the margin payable. The Company incurred interest on margin payable of $548, $447, and $627 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.
