Thomas Peterffy, who helped bring computerized pricing to options floors in the 1970s, built the firm into an electronic broker serving professional traders, hedge funds, and self-directed investors across dozens of markets. Automation is the competitive position: the cost to serve an account is low enough to support pricing that full-service brokers cannot match. Margin lending and interest on customer cash produce a large share of profit, making results rate-sensitive. Account growth has come substantially from outside the United States. Headquarters are in Greenwich, Connecticut.

If a meaningful share of your net worth sits in IBKR, concentration risk is the question. This calculator quantifies drawdown impact at 30 / 50 / 70%, and the trade-off between selling down (tax cost now) versus hedging (option premium drag), auto-filled with IBKR's option-implied volatility.

Example: 5,000 IBKR shares at $90.56 is a $452,800 position. A 30% drawdown costs $135,840; a 50% drawdown costs $226,400; a 70% drawdown costs $316,960. The calculator quantifies the trade-off between selling down (immediate capital-gains tax) and hedging (option premium drag) using IBKR's option-implied volatility and your cost basis.

Interactive Brokers equity questions

How much IBKR stock is too much?
There is no single threshold, but the larger the share of your net worth in one stock, the more a single bad year can set back your plans. The calculator above quantifies the drawdown impact at 30, 50, and 70 percent for your IBKR position and weighs selling down (which triggers capital-gains tax now) against hedging (which costs option premium).
Does Interactive Brokers grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Interactive Brokers typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
