Interactive Brokers company information

Legal entities and registration

Interactive Brokers has been trading for around 48 years, through at least one full market cycle. Longevity guarantees nothing on its own, but a firm that came through 2008 and 2015 has been tested in a way a recent entrant has not.

It is publicly listed, which brings audited accounts and disclosure duties a private broker does not carry. That is real transparency about the company - though it says nothing about the trading conditions.

The contracting entity is Interactive Brokers LLC. This is the company you would actually have a relationship with, and it is worth checking that it is the same one named on the licence you are relying on: large brokers commonly operate several, and they are not equally protected.

Part of Interactive Brokers Group, Inc.. A parent adds resources, but the protections that apply to you are the ones attached to the entity that holds your account, not to the group.
