For a floating-rate security selling at its par line, the effective margin is identical to the spread between the coupon rate and the underlying index. An advantage of using an effective margin measurement is that it applies equally well to floating-rate securities trading at discounts, at par, or at premiums. A security trading at a discount will have an effective margin greater than the difference between the coupon rate and the index.
