Interactive Brokers Launches Direct Access to Mexican and Spanish Trading Products
Interactive Brokers (IBKR), a leading direct access online broker of global options, futures, stocks, forex, and bonds is pleased to announce the introduction of Mexican stocks, options and futures along with Spanish stocks offered via its multi-product desktop trading platform the Trader Workstation (TWS). These products will be available to customers by March 1, 2008.
Interactive Brokers' clients are accustomed to accessing multiple products across a growing variety of global asset classes from a single IB Universal AccountSM. Direct access is provided to options, futures, stocks, forex, and bonds on over seventy market centers worldwide. In 2007 the company added Australian stocks, Hong Kong stocks and warrant trading, options on both Dutch and Swedish securities, and NYBOT soft commodity futures. The company also offers its global customer base trading in ten major currencies through eleven interbank participants at spreads as low as half a pip wide.
All newly announced products will be integrated into our recently launched IB Risk NavigatorSM shortly. The IB Risk NavigatorSM is a real-time market risk management platform, which unifies exposure across multiple asset classes around the globe. Whereas there are a number of trading technology firms offering their risk management solutions for hundreds of thousands of dollars, all active Interactive Brokers customers receive the IB Risk NavigatorSM at no cost.
