Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ GS:IBKR) is pleased to
announce the launch of the Investors’ Marketplace, a groundbreaking
online service where traders and investors, financial advisors,
fund managers, research analysts, technology providers, business
developers and administrators can meet and do business
together.
The Investors’ Marketplace allows participants to search for a
wide variety of investment and other third-party service providers,
and advertise their services to individual and institutional
investors around the world. To advertise their services, advisors,
money managers, hedge funds and brokers must have an account at IB.
Other third-party service providers, such as compliance, legal and
administrative firms, can list without an IB trading account.
The Investors’ Marketplace has grown significantly since its
beta launch earlier this year. The Marketplace now lists more than
300 advisors, brokers, money managers and hedge funds, upwards of
120 research providers, 75 administrative service providers and 295
participating technology providers.
The table below shows the variety of investment and other
third-party services available in the marketplace.

The Investors’ Marketplace is an easy-to-use online hub that for
the first time gives our clients one stop shopping access to
investor service providers around the globe. For example, investors
who may not be interested in self-directed trading can still
benefit from IB’s low cost, breadth of product, advanced
technology, and financial strength by partnering with an advisor,
broker and/or hedge fund. Further, investors seeking the services
of an advisor can research and select an independent advisor to
manage their money, avoiding the conflicts of interest inherent in
other non-independent advisor relationships.
Interactive Brokers has more than 300,000 customers, many of
whom are sophisticated, high net-worth clients who may be eligible
to invest a portion of their account in a hedge fund. The
Investors’ Marketplace provides a means through which participating
hedge funds can market their funds to IB clients who have been
qualified as Accredited Investors and Qualified Purchasers.
Thomas Peterffy, founder, chairman and CEO of Interactive
Brokers, said of the recent launch, “We believe that the Investors’
Marketplace will make it easier for the investment community to
find the best value service providers, and for our participating
service providers to more efficiently reach individual and
institutional investors worldwide.”
