Getting Started: IB Investment Manager -
Multiple Fund Account

This Getting Started guide provides a comprehensive collection of the tasks you will want to complete as a new IB Investment Manager of a Hedge and Mutual Fund Account - Multiple Fund Account. The guide assumes that you are the investment manager.

As an IB Investment Manager of a Multiple Fund Account, you manage one or more Hedge or Mutual Fund accounts, with each Fund account owned by a separate legal entity and credit-managed separately. In a Multiple Fund Account, you add Fund accounts, deposit funds directly into each Fund account and trade for them in TWS using pre-trade allocations. You can also add multiple users to the Master account.

Please note that this guide is designed as a reference for new users, and comprises a very small subset of the information and trading features available to you through IB and the TWS.
