Finnish term or phrase: kateosto
Context: kateoston korvaus

This is part of a clause in an agreement. The dictionaries give 'cover purchase' but I don't know what that means and neither, seemingly, does Google.

Can any one help please?

margin sth


Explanation:
Kate is margin for sure, but even my commercial dictionary Fin-Eng translates this as cover, which margin does of course represent in a way. So, a financial term, margin purchase. Myyntikate f.ex. is sales margin. Margin in Eng-Fin commercial dictionary does come up with kate. So I'd say related to Margin Trading.
