Donât Take Chances
Investors concerned about deteriorating credit markets, looming write
downs by brokers, the mishap at MF Global, rumors of hedge fund
liquidations and counterparty credit risk should consider moving their
accounts to Interactive Brokers.
For 30 years, controlling and avoiding risk has been the primary
consideration in building our automated dealing and brokerage systems.
Other than cash and one day forwards foreign currency transactions,
Interactive Brokers does not take positions in over the counter securities,
including mortgage related or other collateralized debt obligations or
swaps of any kind.
In addition to foreign exchange, we trade only exchange listed products
that are cleared through central clearing houses and are marked daily to
external closing prices disseminated by the exchanges.
Our proprietary positions and resulting payables and receivables are
reconciled against external sources daily. Our real-time margin system
prevents the execution of orders for accounts with insufficient margin
by continuously enforcing limits for each account, and it automatically
liquidates positions if any individual account violates its limits at any time.
