Important Strength and Security Facts about Interactive Brokers Group¹

• On a consolidated basis, IBG LLC exceeds $9 billion in equity capital, over $6.5 billion in excess of regulatory requirements.
• IBG LLC's owners are our public company, Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (21.8%) and the firm's employees and their affiliates (78.2%). Unlike at most other firms, where management owns a relatively small share, we participate substantially in the downside just as much as in the upside. Because of this vested interest, we run our business conservatively.
• We manage our brokerage and market making businesses in separate companies, which are registered with local securities and/or commodities regulators. We maintain strict systematic and procedural separation between the two business lines and we do not commingle or utilize client-segregated assets for proprietary operations. Although certain affiliates of IBKR trade for their own account, our client-facing businesses do not conduct proprietary trading.
• We hold no material positions in over-the-counter securities or derivatives. We hold no CDOs, MBS or CDS.
