Pregunto, ya que aqui muchos tenemos cuenta abierta con ellos. ¿Estan metidos en el negocio? Creo que es un dato que nos puede interesar.

Un saludo.

Pues no tengo ni idea que hacen con la parte líquida de las cuentas.
Espero que no la inviertan por su cuenta.
La verdad es que nunca lo había pensado, pero tengo mucho dinero con ellos, y me gustaría saber si corren algún peligro.
Si alguien puede aportar algo se lo agradecería.

Conociendo al señor Gonzalez, y su politica de gestion de riesgos no le pilla ni el crack de 29, que lo tiene gravado a fuego en su frente, de todas maneras si hay miedo pues control, unas puts por debajo de 21 para un año, te dejaran muy tranquilo................o no.

Si al final resultará que Interactive Brokers es de F Gonzalez y yo sin enterarme.
Por cierto según Standard and Poor´s el rating de IB es BBB.
No me parece mucho.

No sé, que algún experto comente el tema.

pero gonzalez ( entiendo el del bbva ), que es socio independiente, propietario, o es que el bbva tiene una participacion en este broker ? gracias.

Creo que se refieren al sr. Gerald Perez (y no González )

buenas tardes,

IB envió un correo a los clientes el pasado 29 de Agosto comentando este tema debida a la alta volatilidad en los mercados y a la preocupación sobre las inversiones en fondos y tipos de interés

Information About Customer Funds Investment and Interest Benchmarks

In light of recent market volatility and increased concern over liquidity and credit exposure, we would like IB clients to be aware of our investment philosophy regarding their funds.

IB’s Policy on Customer Funds Investment

As a regulated broker, IB is subject to SEC and CFTC regulations on investment of customer funds. Permissible investment vehicles include bank deposits and a variety of top-rated government securities and related instruments. IB’s effective investment policy is even more stringent than this, reflecting our risk-averse philosophy. We only invest customer funds in government securities and repos, cash deposits in bank accounts at the largest banks and the triple A-rated JP Morgan Prime Fund (in which we invest less than 1% of customer assets).

Additionally, we limit customer exposure through the following credit policies:

Keeping investments in highly liquid, short-term instruments
Distributing client funds among a variety of banks and counterparties to avoid concentrated exposure to any single counterparty
Rigorous analysis by our Credit Committee of counterparty financial condition, as well as review of risk factors prior to permitting investment activity with or via any counterparty

IB’s investment policy is very conservative. Our strict policies when investing client money minimize our and your exposure in uncertain credit environments.

Benchmark rates in USD changing from Libor to Fed Funds


In order to ensure that the benchmark IB uses for interest calculations accurately tracks our investment policies, IB will change its reference rate for USD interest from Libor to Fed Funds. Specifically, we will use the Fed Funds Effective rate which is announced daily by the US Federal Reserve and represents the weighted average of all transactions executed the previous day. This change will take effect 1 September 2007. For reference, the value on Friday, 24 August was 5.11.

More information about the Fed Funds reference rate as well as the official published values can be found on the website of the NY Federal Reserve Bank:
