Securities Financing

Our depth of availability, transparent and competitive loan and borrow rates, automated tools and dedicated service representatives give you the advantages you expect from Interactive Brokers.
Depth of Availability

The combination of both internal supply and external relationships allows us to offer our clients a vast array of securities to trade:

  • Our large and diverse customer base lets us source internally approximately 60 to 70% of our short borrow needs.
  • The Stock Yield Enhancement Program (SYEP), which lets our clients with margin accounts capture additional revenue by having their Hard to Borrow positions borrowed by IB, provides a unique source of stock loan availability.
  • IB has securities lending/borrowing relationships with more than 60 counterparties, comprised of Agent Lenders, banks and broker dealers in the U.S.

Transparent, Competitive Loan and Borrow Rates
  • We disclose our short stock availability (aka "locates") to ALL customers on a first come, first serve basis for every supported security on our trading platform, Trader Workstation (TWS).
  • We disclose indicative rebate rate and fee rate information, which you can use as an indication of borrow costs.
  • Each day, we provide our clients with detailed reports, outlining exactly what the financing costs are for each SLB-related transaction.

Automated Tools

In addition to the Stock Yield Enhancement Program, we offer a variety of securities financing tools:

  • TWS includes stock loan and borrow tools out of the box, including the Yield Optimizer, which lets you compare securities financing rates across the current SLB market, and OneChicago's single stock futures market.
  • Customers with Portfolio Margin accounts can join our Pre-Borrow Program, which allows pre-borrowing of shares to decrease the chances of being bought-in on settlement date.

Professional Advisors often function as Wealth Managers, responsible for the gathering of customer assets while assigning separate Money Managers to execute and allocate trades among their multiple clients. Money Manager Accounts allow these designated traders to register as Money Managers and accept client trading assignments from Professional Advisors, then trade for multiple clients from a single order management interface. Note that Advisors who are part of a three-level broker account structure cannot link to Money Managers.

Money Managers do not add client accounts, fund client accounts, set client fees or set client trading permissions. Only the Wealth Manager (Financial Advisor) can perform these tasks.

Accounts are accepted from residents of all countries except those countries that are prohibited by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control. Click here for a list of available countries.
