EXPANDED OFFERING

Invest for Your Future with a Stocks and
Shares ISA and Junior ISA (JISA) Account

An Interactive Brokers Stocks and Shares Individual Savings Account (ISA) or Stocks and Shares Junior ISA is a tax-free savings or investment account that lets you save or invest a certain amount of money every year without having to pay tax on any growth in your investments or savings. The best way to think of a stocks and shares ISA is as a 'wrapper' with which you can shelter your savings and investments from both Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.

The IBUK Stocks and Shares ISA lets you choose from a range of investments, including shares, securities issued by companies, recognized UCITS, Depository Receipts, American Depository Receipts and American Depository Shares.

There are no custody fees for overnight or long-term investments, and no fees to transfer your account from another broker. Our commissions start1 from just £3/€3 per trade for the UK and most European stocks, while US stocks start from just USD 0.005 per share and we offer fractional US, Canadian and European share dealing.

An IBKR ISA account also provides access to global markets to help with international portfolio diversification. HMRC recognizes many exchanges from around the world, including:

Country Exchange
Australia The Australian Stock Exchange (and any of its stock exchange subsidiaries)
Austria Vienna Stock Exchange
Belgium NYSE Euronext Brussels
Canada Toronto Stock Exchange
Montreal Stock Exchange
Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX Venture Exchange)
France MATIF

Expanded Offering

Introducing Fractional Shares Trading
in Canadian Stocks
and ETFs

Interactive Brokers recently expanded fractional shares trading to Canadian stocks and ETFs listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on CBOE Canada.

Fractional shares give investors a simple way to build a balanced portfolio and invest in shares regardless of the share price. With fractional shares, investors can divide investments among more stocks to achieve a better-diversified portfolio and put small cash balances to work quickly to maximize potential returns.

To trade eligible Canadian fractional shares, clients can use a cash quantity order that lets clients place orders in a specific cash amount. Fractional shares will automatically be bought or sold if the cash amount does not line up with a whole number of shares.

  • Log in to Portal
  • Click the User Profile (head/shoulders icon in the top right corner)
  • Click Settings
  • Click Trading Permissions
  • Under Stocks, click "Add" and then "Global (Trade in Fractions)"
  • Click Continue to enable

Once enabled, you can trade fractional shares from our IBKR Mobile, IBKR GlobalTrader, IMPACT App, Client Portal, IBKR Desktop or Trader Workstation (TWS) trading platforms. When placing an order, simply tap or click the quantity field to show the size wand, use the toggle to switch between dollars or fractional share quantity and enter the quantity for your order.

IBKR Clients Earn Up to 4.83% on Instantly Available USD Cash Balances

Money flying out of laptop screen

As an Interactive Brokers client, you are likely aware that client accounts receive credit interest on positive settled cash balances.1 After increases in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve, Interactive Brokers now pays up to 4.83% on positive settled USD cash balances.2

Accounts with a Net Asset Value (NAV) of USD 100,000 (or equivalent) or more are paid interest at the full rate for which they are eligible. Accounts with NAV of less than USD 100,000 (or equivalent) receive interest at rates proportional to the size of the account.

For example, an account with a NAV of USD 50,000 earns credit interest at a rate equal to one-half the rate paid by IBKR to accounts with a NAV of USD 100,000 or more.

[1] Positive settled cash balances held in the securities segment of accounts with NAV>100k earn the stated interest rate (December 5, 2023) and those with NAV<100k earn a proportional rate. Cash held in the commodities segment of an account does not earn interest. For more information, visit our website.

[2] Rate as of December 5, 2023. Restrictions apply. For additional information on interest rates click here.

NEW TOOL

Fundamentals Explorer Now Includes a Securities Lending Dashboard

Use daily short sale data on thousands of securities worldwide to generate trade ideas, gauge short sentiment and evaluate your portfolio from a different angle.

The Securities Lending Dashboard lets clients evaluate short trades by accessing key securities lending metrics. Investors can access real-time metrics such as Utilization, Shares on Loan and Short Interest Indicators to gauge borrowing demand in a name, which may reflect market sentiment. They can also leverage historical data to view recent trends and compare activity across two tickers.

Securities Lending Dashboard

Trend Metrics include:

  • Utilization: The total quantity of the security on loan divided by the total inventory of the security. Expressed as percentage.
  • Lender Depth: A scale to indicate the number of lenders with an outstanding borrow in the name. 1: 0-5 lenders, 2: 6-10 lenders, 3: 11 or more lenders.
  • Average Duration: The volume weighted average duration of all open loans in the security based on Trade Date, expressed in calendar days.
  • Borrow Depth: A scale to indicate the number of borrowers with an outstanding borrow in the name. 1: 0-5 borrowers, 2: 6-10 borrowers, 3: 11 or more borrowers.
  • Days to Cover: for equity securities, the number of shares on loan in the security for the business date divided by the 30-day average daily trading volume in the cash market.
  • On Loan Quantity: Total quantity of the security on loan.
  • On Loan Value: Total value (USD) of the security on loan.
  • Short Interest Indicator: For equity securities, the number of shares on loan divided by the total number of shares in the public float, expressed as a percentage. For fixed income securities, the size on loan divided by the issuance size, expressed as a percentage.

Our Security Lending Dashboard is powered by complimentary and premium securities lending analytics from Orbisa, a leading market data provider. Gain transparency across your portfolio, develop strategic insight, validate sentiment and add depth to your trading analysis.

To use Fundamentals Explorer, log in to Client Portal and click the Research tab followed by Fundamentals Explorer.

New Services for
Advisors of Any Size

Interactive Brokers offers turnkey solutions that help advisors of any size build competitive advantage, efficiently manage their business and serve clients at the lowest cost.

We recently introduced new features and services to help advisors on our platform.

DocuSign for Multiple Applications

Image showing e-signature on multiple documents

Earlier this year, we integrated DocuSign into the semi-electronic application process and made it available for all advisors with clients from eligible countries. We recently expanded our integration with DocuSign so that advisors can now send multiple individual, joint and retirement account applications to a client in a single DocuSign package. Please refer to our User Guide for additional information and instructions.

Client Management Programs
for Advisors are Going Global

We completed the roll out of our reconfigured and enhanced client management models for US advisors and have begun rolling out the services to advisors around the world.

Our enhanced client management model offers improvements such as:

  • Operational Control: These new models allow you to complete various tasks, such as funding requests and information changes, on behalf of your clients. Depending on the program, IBKR will accept the changes or once entered by the advisor, clients will use a simplified process to approve, sign and confirm your action.
  • Enhanced Dashboard: We have enhanced the Client Pending Items tab (formerly Pending Items) on our Dashboard. This tab will show you all pending tasks for your clients and either allow you, as the advisor, to complete the task on behalf of the client or send an automated email asking your client to address the task.
  • Improved Messaging: We have redesigned our Sub Account Messages tab and streamlined communications from IBKR by aggregating, categorizing and routing messages to the advisor to avoid unnecessary client contact.

We offer three client management models with customizable participation levels:

  • Streamlined simplifies the process by which clients approve funding requests, sign agreements and confirm changes and instructions entered by their advisor. Advisors can customize specific features, and communications from IBKR are aggregated, categorized and routed to the advisor to avoid unnecessary client contact. Once you enroll, all clients are automatically enrolled.
  • Streamlined Plus allows advisors to perform certain administrative tasks on behalf of their clients. Once you are approved for participation, clients will automatically be enrolled during the application process with the same advisor authorizations applying to all.
  • Full-Service clients enroll individually and choose the powers they wish to grant their advisor, which can include moving funds or assets on their behalf and performing a broad range of administrative tasks.

Advisors will be presented with eligible programs on the enrollment screen, which can be found in the Advisor Authorizations screen on the Settings page in Advisor Portal.

This new interface allows you to create custom feed views of the news you want to read, in the layout style that you prefer.

    To access this new layout, from the Research menu select News & Research. This new presentation is easy to navigate and provides a clean, modern interface.
  • Overnight Trading: Capture market opportunities anytime with Overnight Trading. All clients with US Stock trading permission will have access to US Overnight Trading. To use this feature, in the Order Ticket select Overnight from the Time in Force list.

Enhancements for Advisors

In addition, we have introduced several enhancements for Advisors.

Trader Workstation (TWS)
  • The Allocation Order Tool now supports options combos.
  • Advisors can now choose between "Static" and "Dynamic" methods of applying allocations across models. Static allocation applies the initial percentages to all new investments, while Dynamic allocations apply the new percentages that result from price changes.
  • Multi-Stock Tax Loss Harvesting: Updates to the Tax Loss Harvesting tool allow advisors to take advantage of potential losses across client accounts and multiples securities. Previously the tool showed potential losses for a single stock at a time.
  • Advisors can now have the order quantity for an Account Group calculated as a percent of their position for groups with "User-Specified" allocation methods. Account Groups automatically calculate ratios and allocate shares to a pre-defined group of accounts based on a selected allocation method.
Advisor Portal
  • We redesigned the Advisor Portal Order Ticket to support Advisor Allocations. Other updates include using a horizontal instead of a vertical layout which adapts better to different screen sizes. The new layout also helps users avoid having to scroll up and down to find fields as they create an order. The vertical orientation is still available from the “Quick” order ticket that displays on the right side of the Client Portal interface.

Visit the Release Notes section of the Documentation page to find out more about recent enhancements.

Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. For information on the uses and risks of options, you can obtain a copy of the Options Clearing Corporation risk disclosure document titled Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options by visiting ibkr.com/occ.

Multiple leg strategies, including spreads, will incur multiple commission charges.
