Interactive Brokers Review
Interactive Brokers is a financial services company founded in 1994 and based in Greenwich, CT.
What fees does Interactive Brokers charge?
Interactive Brokers uses a fee-only model.
This means Interactive Brokers gets paid a flat fee regardless of what financial products or services you use. It also means they have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients. Instead of making money on trades commissions or selling products, they recommend an asset allocation and get paid a flat-fee or a percentage of the assets under administration. That requires that they act in their client’s financial best interest at all times.
Interactive Brokers uses a commission-based model. In other words, they get a commission when they sell you investment products, such as stocks or mutual funds.

What management fees does Interactive Brokers charge?
Interactive Brokers charges an annual management fee that starts at .08% and ranges up to 1.5%.
Many financial advisors charge based on how much money they oversee by using a fee-structure called “assets under management,” or AUM. For instance, a 0.40% fee translates to $4 per year for every $1,000 an investment advisor manages. Management fees, also known as maintenance fees, cover the operating costs of investment advisors and are typically deducted from your account every month or quarter. The management fee does not cover the underlying expense ratios of the investment vehicles purchased by investment advisors.
What are the investment expense ratios of Interactive Brokers?
Hiring an investment advisor with competitive investment fees is one of the most important steps to maximizing your portfolio's performance. Investment expense ratios can vary drastically depending on the types of accounts and assets involved. A survey by the ICI puts the average expense ratio for actively managed funds at 0.76% and indexed funds at 0.08%. The investment expense ratios of an investment advisor will vary depending on the type of assets they invest in and whether they attach additional charges to fund fees.
Interactive Brokers does not charge fees based on an investment expense ratio.What features does Interactive Brokers offer?
Access to human advisors: Robo-advisors are great at keeping costs down and helping investors with modest balances make good investment choices. However, it is also nice to have access to human financial advisors when you need them.
Automatic rebalancing: Having a good balance of investments is important. But a well-balanced portfolio is not something you can set up and forget. Markets are constantly changing and can easily throw your portfolio out of balance. Interactive Brokers allows you to rebalance your investments back to your target asset allocation at set intervals.
Full-service brokerage: Interactive Brokers provides access to a wide selection of financial advice and products, such as facilitating trades, managing portfolios, and wealth management services.
