Interactive Broker Communique

Interactive Brokers would like to wish our customers and their families a joyous holiday season and a safe and prosperous New Year.

As the holidays approach and 2015 comes to a close,
we would like to offer you a look back at some of our achievements
and additions from the past year.

Commitment-Free Trading

We've made it easier for your friends to try Interactive Brokers without making a commitment. Tell your friends to start an application today for immediate access to a free paper trading account. They will enjoy simulated trading, delayed market data, and access to the trading tools, analytics, research, fundamentals and technicals included with the platform for free. They can populate the screens and set up all optional fields the way they would want in an actual account, try our order types, Risk Navigator, Option Strategy, Volatility and Probability Labs, Portfolio Builder and many other advanced trading tools, as well as see all of our flexible report formats and compare our commissions, margins and low financing rates to their current broker. Once they complete their application and fund their account, all of their paper account settings will be available in their funded account.

Reinvest Your Stock Dividends

Our new Dividend Reinvestment Plan lets you immediately reinvest your stock dividends. Once you sign up, cash dividends will be automatically reinvested by purchasing shares in those stocks paying the dividend. Any leftover cash dividend amount will remain in your account. Sign up for dividend reinvestment from the Account Details page in Account Management.

No Transaction Fee (NTF) Mutual Funds

This year we arranged to waive our usual transaction fee of $14.95 on certain mutual funds in order to deliver the lowest trading costs to our clients when using our platform. Our NTF mutual fund program includes funds across various share classes, including PIMCO, Dreyfus, Guggenheim, Allianz, Fidelity, Forward Funds, Janus and TRowe Price.
