You want free lunch! Can't get positive interests on EUR without risk. The risk-free rate is negative. End of the story!

I wouldn't there keep hundreds K of idle EUR cash in IB. Better to keep it a EUR bank account (where you pay no interest) and instant transfer to IB when you need. Or... Get another currency exposure like USD. Until USD rates become also negative ...

IB doesn't pay 2.5% but roughly 1.5% above 10k. This future does pay 2.5% from the first dollar. What is more effective?

Short the EUR futures contract. You'll get 2.5% yield. And a USD exposure instead of the EUR

You pay income tax on the 50k salary. You pay also corporate tax on your company's profit. 8.5% on the first 300k, and 17% on the following 650k. No tax on the dividends so you can get your company's profit: 950k- corporate tax. But this is not optimised. You should raise your salary until your...

Unfortunately, 871 (m) restriction cannot be removed for IXM Futures as the index does not qualify for an exemption. As of January 2, 2019, the cumulative weight of the five largest securities in the Financial Select Sector represented 45,1% of the overall index weight. The limit is 40%.
